Buffon backed to become Juventus boss once 42-year-old goalkeeper finally retires

Gianluigi Buffon is capable of becoming Juventus manager at some stage in the future claims the legendary goalkeeper’s agent, although he continues to shelve retirement plans at the age of 42.

The World Cup winner is committed to spending at least more one season among the playing ranks in Turin, with another 12-month contract extension agreed.

Plenty have joked that Buffon could play on towards his 50th birthday, with the experienced shot-stopper having lost none of his appetite for the game. There will come a day, though, when he decides to hang up his gloves.
