Juventus president Andrea Agnelli has announced that this will be the last season at the club for Alessandro del Piero.
Speaking at a shareholders meeting on Tuesday, the Signora chief admitted that the No 10’s playing career with the outfit will end in the summer.
Agnelli said : “Our captain Alessandro Del Piero really wanted to stay with us for what will be his final year in Bianconero,”.
“Let’s dedicate a massive round of applause to him.”
There has yet to be a comment from the Del Piero camp, but it was widely accepted before today’s announcement that the Italian would leave in 2012 at the end of his contract.
