“I’m very happy because my body is tired,” the former Lazio and Milan man added. “I think it's time to finish.

“I’ve played for 20 years at a high level.

“I’ve been lucky as I won a lot of trophies. And this is the perfect time to say stop. I'll start a new life with my family, another job.

“I’ll now go and live in Miami for a year where I want to learn new things. Once this sabbatical period is over then I want to become a Coach.

“I don’t know where that will be, but I will give it a go.”

The 2006 World Cup winner, 78 caps for Italy, made his Serie A debut for the capital club in 1994. He joined Milan in the summer of 2002.
