Antonio Cassano will announce his retirement this afternoon, reports suggest – eight days after signing for Verona.
The forward joined the Butei last week on a free transfer, having not played in over a year after being frozen out and then released by Sampdoria.
FantAntonio is known for his volatile character, and Gazzetta dello Sport says that he has decided to retire just over a week into his contract.
The newspaper reports that he will leave Verona, and almost certainly stop playing altogether, for family reasons – specifically that he's homesick.
Cassano had played in the first two friendly games of pre-season, but it appears he may never make a competitive appearance.
He will hold a Press conference at 3pm UK time, where an official announcement and an explanation is expected.
