Sydney FC are reportedly set to part ways with Alessandro Del Piero at the end of the A-League season.



The Sydney FC board met during the week and decided not to offer the Italian striker the one-year contract extension he was seeking, according to Fairfax Media.



Del Piero, who’s earning about $4 million a season with the Sky Blues and turns 40 in November, sat out Friday night’s 1-1 draw with the Brisbane Roar at Allianz Stadium due to back and hamstring tightness.



Similar complaints have restricted his game time this season after a brilliant debut campaign in 2012-13 with Sydney FC that yielded a club-record 14 goals.
