Hellas Verona striker Luca Toni has spoken of clashing with Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal.

Toni has retired after scoring from the spot in victory over Juventus.

He has a love-hate relationship with Verona coach Gigi del Neri and revealed: “We didn't get along very well, that's for sure, but it's not nice talking about it now. In any case, we cleared the air.

“In the past I had much worse misunderstandings with Van Gaal when I was playing at Bayern Munich. Back then we almost came to blows."

What next for Toni? Certainly not a coaching career.

“I've seen my former teammates age five years for every 12 months since they became Coaches! No, I'd prefer to do something in a directorial role."
