Marcello Lippi has advised Gianluigi Buffon to delay his retirement from football. “The appearance record in Serie A could interest him…”
Buffon will not surpass Paolo Maldini as the Serie A player with the most all-time appearances if he retires at the end of the season as planned, and Lippi believes the goalkeeper has another year left in his locker.
“Buffon? He’ll do well in whatever he does after football,” the former Bianconeri and Italy boss told Radio Rai.

“Buffon? He’ll do well in whatever he does after football,” the former Bianconeri and Italy boss told Radio Rai.
“We’re talking about someone who is able to get those close to him on side and become a leader immediately.
“If I could, I’d tell him to retire when he feels ready because I think that deep down, the appearance record in Serie A could interest him.
“When he has finished playing, he can take a couple of years out, enjoy time with his family, disconnect and think long and hard about what he wants to do.”
