Former Italy, Juventus, Fenerbahce and Milan defender Leonardo Bonucci has announced his retirement with a touching video looking back over his career.
The centre-back turned 37 earlier this month and his contract with Fenerbahce is coming to an end this summer.
He had hoped to play for Italy at EURO 2024, but between Union Berlin and Fenerbahce failed to get enough playing time to warrant a call-up.
Now he has released a video on social media showing some of the highlights of his career and is preparing for what comes next.
“As a child, I dreamed of this story I would tell, promising myself achievements to embrace against the biggest, celebrating, having faith through difficulties with courage.
“A father, a teammate, a husband, a player. Beyond. Beyond history today, I am me.”
In his career, the defender won the European Championship with Italy, nine Serie A titles at Inter and Juventus, five Coppa Italia trophies and five editions of the Supercoppa Italiana.
