“I can say it officially now: I’ve hung up my boots after a long career,” the French striker told JTV.

“It was a wonderful career, on a personal level too. A wonderful story all round. I’m happy because now I have the chance to start a new adventure with the club where I grew up as a player and as a man.

“I’ll be able to keep growing in my new role as President of Juventus Legends. I’m thrilled, because it’s a project Juve have been working on for a while and something that lots of other big European clubs are starting to do now.

“It’s an interesting project and I’m sure we can develop it with other former Juve players.”

The Juventus Legends are a team of ex-stars who travel round the world playing exhibition matches.

“We have an important date coming up with a match on May 4 in Fukuoka, Japan,” continued Trezeguet.

“Then there will be other social and cultural developments to follow. I’ll get to travel around the world bringing fans into closer contact with our history.

“There are some big events lined up. We start with this Japanese adventure and then we’ll look to build on it around the globe.

“I can’t wait to get started and I’m excited about being a part of this project. I’m really keen to help Juve expand it.

“I’m also proud that Juve wanted me to get involved. Personally, coming back home was an easy choice to make. I’m proud to have come home to the Juve I love.”
