Giorgio Chiellini, the captain of the Juventus team, announced the end of his career with the team at the end of the current season, after the Juventus lost the Italian Cup against Inter Milan, 4-2, after the match extended to overtime, after the end of the original time with a 2-2 draw, which brought them together on Olympic Stadium, in the capital, Rome. Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini, the captain of the Juventus, is to leave Juventus at the end of the season, after 17 years at the club. This announcement came after Juve lost the Italian Cup title against Inter Milan, 4-2, after the match was extended to overtime, after the end of the original time with a 2-2 draw, which brought them together at the "Olympico" stadium in the capital, Rome.
Chiellini, the 37-year-old Juventus defender, will end his career with the team, despite the remaining season in his contract with the club, which expires in the summer of 2023.
“On Monday I will say goodbye to my Juventus Stadium, then if I have still got something in the tank might have a run-out in Florence (in Juve’s final league game next weekend).
“We had these 10 magnificent years, it is up to the others to continue now,” Chiellini told Sport Mediaset. “I did everything I could, I hope that I left something.
“It is my choice 100 percent, I am happy to leave at such a high level because for many years I have said I didn’t want to finish struggling and not being able to play at my level. I gave it my all; soon I will be the biggest Juventus fan from the outside. After so many years within this club, you cannot shake it off.”
Chiellini played 559 games in various competitions during his career with Juve, scored 36, and provided 25 assists, since joining the team in the summer of 2005 from Fiorentina.
