Chiellini 'to become Juve director'

By Football Italia staff

Giorgio Chiellini has reportedly agreed to play on for Juventus until 2021 before becoming a club director.

Chiellini’s contract expires in June, but Tuttosport claims an agreement is in place for the defender to extend his deal by a further year.

As per the publication, the coronavirus lockdown prevented the 36-year-old from putting pen to paper.

However, it is claimed he will retire at the end of next season prior to moving into an upstairs role for Juve.

He received a master’s degree in Business Administration in April 2017.
