Giorgio Chiellini confirms 'last game for Italy' after failing to qualify for World Cup

Giorgio Chiellini, 37, has revealed that he's unsure about his future with Juventus but is certain to hang up his boots for Italy.

Quoted by Football Italia, the centre-back said in an interview: "I will sit down with my two families and figure out what is best for everyone, but my last Italy game will be against Argentina [a friendly at Wembley].

"I’ll say goodbye to the Nazionale at Wembley, which is where I experienced the apex of my career winning the Euros.

"I’d like to say goodbye to the Azzurri with a nice memory. That will certainly be my last game with Italy."

With a total of 116 caps, he's Italy's joint fifth-highest capped player so far.

Chiellini lifted the Euro 2020 title with Italy and has been a key part of the setup since his debut in 2004.

However, Italy missed qualifying for the World Cup in Qatar - what would have been Chiellini's last major international tournament.
