Football Legend Andrea Pirlo Announces Retirement, Plans To Join Conte At Chelsea (Full Story)

Andrea Pirlo has confirmed he will hang up his boots at the end of the MLS season.

The former AC Milan, Juventus and Italy star at the weekend announced he will end his career when his New York City FC contract expires at the end of the year.

Pirlo won six Serie A titles, two Champions Leagues and a World Cup with Azzurri.

“You realise that the time has come,” Pirlo, 38, told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“Every day you have physical problems, you cannot train as you want because you always have some problem.

“At my age, that’s enough. It’s not that you can go on forever until the age of 50. I’ll do something else.
