Ex-Juve star Tevez to retire

By Football Italia staff

Former Juventus star Carlos Tevez has confirmed that he will retire from football when his Boca Juniors contract expires at the end of next year.

Tevez rejoined Boca for the second time in January after a lucrative year in China with Shanghai Shenhua, and the 34-year-old admits he will see out the remainder of his career with the Argentine club.

“I’ll leave football behind when my contract with Boca expires at the end of next year,” he told Canal 13.

“Other times, I missed the club when I left, but this time it won’t be the same. I won’t go to another team and I’ll retire with this jersey.

“I don’t want to retire and then become a Coach or director. I must prepare for such a role first.”

The attacker scored 50 goals in 95 appearances for Juve between 2013 and 2015, winning two Scudetti and a Coppa Italia, as well as reaching the Champions League Final.

He also won League titles with Boca, Corinthians, Manchester United and Manchester City and scored 13 goals in 76 caps for Argentina.
