Verona striker Luca Toni will retire from playing after Sunday's home game against former club Juventus.

A World Cup winner with Italy in 2006, Toni has scored 156 Serie A goals in 343 games - for eight different clubs.

He became the oldest player - at 38 - to win the Serie A golden boot, finishing joint top with Mauro Icardi last season on 22 goals.

Toni also had a spell in Germany and was the Bundesliga's top scorer in 2007-08 with Bayern Munich.

In 2005-06, he won the European Golden Shoe, for the leading goalscorer in the continent, with 31 goals for Fiorentina.
