Juventus defender Barzagli expects retirement after Euro 2016

Juventus defender Andrea Barzagli says Euro 2016 is likely to be his international swansong.

Barzagli is confident Italy have the young defenders to take the team forward.

"I can't see myself still in Azzurro after the Euros, primarily because I'll be over 35. I'm not a player like [Gianluigi] Buffon or [Andrea] Pirlo who can keep going until 40.
