Juventus great Gigi Buffon has announced his retirement today.
Buffon was still contracted to Serie BParma, but has decided to hang up his gloves.
He said on social media: "28 years of career seems to me an incredible result, almost unthinkable, above all for the continuity of performance demonstrated in almost three decades.
"In my opinion, this is the aspect that most determines the value of a sports career, in this case mine. I put so much passion, dedication, enthusiasm and joy into it that looking back, I can say they really flew by.
"Yes, these 28 years – with these two dates (November 19, 1995 and May 30, 2023, the debut in A and the last in B) – are my football history and my sporting history. But also the story of those who have supported me in these 28 years with cheering, tears and love.
"I also want to thank Parma and its people because they really made me feel so loved, even in these two years."
