After the final siren of the Saturday game, the 39-year-old center defender expressed his thoughts, saying, “It’s been a beautiful journey in America, and this could have been my last game.” I’ll think about it for a few more days. In Italy, there is no question about it: Juventus is eager for him to start his career on the board the next season. “I want to work on the board. I have an MBA in football and a degree in economics. Juventus is in my future,” he said to “The Athletic.”
Chiellini played football professionally for 23 years. Between 2004 and 2022, he donned t-shirts from Leghorn (2000–2004), Los Angeles FC (2022–2023), and most importantly, Juventus (2022–2023). He participated in two Champions League finals, won nine Scudetti, five Italian Cups, five Super Cups, and a Serie B title (due to the Calciopoli scandal) with the Turin squad. Along with Barzagli and Bonucci, he formed the legendary “BBC,” a back three that played a key role in the Vecchia Signora.
He went on to win in the MLS later on, adding the championship from the previous year, two Western Conference crowns, and a Supporters’ Shield to his resume. La Nazionale’s career also had a lot of empty space. He is currently the fifth-most-appearance player with 117, and he was a major player in the 2021 Azzurri Euro Cup. A new route will open up soon. with winning as the constant goal.
