The eternal legend on the field, Italy's steel goalkeeper, known as the "immortal legend" Buffon, will finally bid farewell to the green field. According to the Italian mainstream media, the forty-year-old soccer giant plans to terminate his contract with the second division team Parma, and is ready to hang up his boots and end his 28-year career. At the same time, he may step into the ranks of the coach, take over the whip of the Italian national team, to fill the vacancy of the late famous coach Vieri.
Buffon's career began in Parma's youth training camp, in 1995, at the age of 17 years and 295 days, he made his Serie A debut, and from then on embarked on a legendary journey of his own. 2001, he transferred to Juventus for a whopping 52 million euros, and in his career, he has won a total of 10 Serie A championships and other honors. Unfortunately, he failed to reach the Champions League final on three occasions and was relegated to Serie B due to the "Phonegate" scandal.
Buffon's pinnacle moment was undoubtedly helping Italy win the 2006 World Cup, racking up 176 appearances, making him the most capped player in Italian history.
In 2018, Buffon moved to Paris Saint-Germain but failed to be reused and returned to Juve after just one season. At the time, there were already rumors of his retirement, but he left the team again two years ago, and once again, there were rumors of his retirement. However, he eventually returned to his parent club Parma. In January of this year, in a Coppa Italia match against Inter Milan, Buffon showed great bravery, repeatedly resolving dangerous situations and forcing the opponents into extra time. Despite Parma's eventual exit, Buffon's outstanding performance still won wide acclaim.
