Ex-Juventus and Milan star Matri retires from football

Former Juventus, Milan and Italy striker Alessandro Matri has announced his retirement from professional football.

Matri, 35, last September joined Brescia on loan from Sassuolo for their first season back in Serie A but made just eight appearances – all as a substitute – before the deal was terminated by mutual consent in January.

Sassuolo released the veteran striker from his contract following the disappointing stint at Brescia, and with a lack of interesting offers thereafter he has decided to hang up his boots.
