Giorgio Chiellini: Hopefully it's Not the End for One of This Generation's Greatest Defenders

Passion. Desire. Loyalty. World class.

These are all words you would typically associate with Juventus centre back Giorgio Chiellini.

The 35-year-old has been nothing short of sensational for I Bianconeri since he joined in 2005. The defensive stalwart has endured some exceptional highs, as well as some real low points in his time at the club - but his loyalty ensured he never jumped ship in times of crisis.

Chiellini has won eight consecutive Serie A titles from 2011/12 to 2018/19, as well as four Coppa Italia cups and four Supercoppa Italiana trophies. He's also won the Serie A award for Defender of the Season on three occasions.
