Gianluigi Buffon said Monday he
would "probably" quit at the end of the season - but only after
trying to lift the Champions League trophy with Juventus.
"I will probably retire this year...but I hope to win the
Champions with Juve, the team that will win will be the one that
is ready in March," the Italy keeper said ahead of a crunch CL
tie with Barcelona.
"I'm serene, I'm not afraid of retiring," said the keeper,
who recently cried after Italy's shock failure to qualify for
the World Cup.
"I'm curious about life and I'm not scared of quitting".
He indicated he was not yet thinking about a career in coach
or another executive position.
Buffon said he had had a "great career" and had been inspired
by "the great Italian school of the various Zengas, Tacconis,
Peruzzis, Toldos, Pagliucas and Marchegianis".
