Buffon, the legendary goalkeeper, has retired from football.
On social media, he wrote:
“That’s all for now, folks!” You gave everything to me. I gave you everything I had. We did it as a team.’
The 45-year-old previously claimed that he expects to play until the World Cup in 2026 and that he aims to see out his contract at Parma, which expires in June 2024.
However, a string of ailments over the last year prompted the goalie to rethink his future before revealing his decision on Wednesday.
