Ex-Juventus captain Chiellini: I want to stay in football

Former Juventus captain Giorgio Chiellini wants to stay in football when he retires.

Chiellini is now playing in the USA with LAFC.

“I would like to play a lot more, My head isn't tired yet, but my body is," he told ilBianconero.

“For now, I'm still enjoying it, but I'll give it a thought when I realize that I've reached the edge of the standard I'm used to.

“Perhaps it will be this season, or maybe after another year."

He also said: “I'd like to stay in football, but in the managerial field rather than a coach, because to be a coach you have to believe in it.

“It's something that eats you up. You must have a calling and I don't feel it right now".
