“Unfortunately the injury forced me to think about retiring. I was interested in many things and would evaluate everything for the next few months.”
“Managers, coaches, or columnists? I want to explore the potential first. I want to find things that make me enthusiastic after retiring,” Andrea Barzagli continued.
Andrea Barzagli has reaped seven Scudetto and four Coppa Italia with Juventus. Previously, Barzagli won the 2006 World Cup when he defended the Italian national team and the Bundesliga in Wolfsburg.
