Pirlo to retire from international football after World Cup

In 2014 I will stop with the national team, I think the World Cup will be the last appointment with the blue shirt.

You have to leave room for the young.

A statement published on juventus.com tonight read: "Juventus Football Club reminds its fans and the media that it is heavily involved in projects dedicated to integration and is against any form of racism or discrimination."

"...Such behaviour does not represent the position of the club, its millions of fans or even the vast majority of spectators at Juventus Stadium, which is something unique in Italian football."
