Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon is set to announce his retirement during the press conference, which will be on Thursday morning, the club announced.

Juventus on Monday released details of the conference to be held at Allianz Stadium.

The veteran goalie helped Juventus win a record-extending seventh straight Serie A on Sunday, four days after he led Juventus to a fourth straight Coppa Italia title.

“The press conference would take place at the Allianz Stadium at 11.30 local time (0930 GMT). Buffon, who has won nine Serie A titles with the club since joining in 2001 from Parma, is expected to play his final game on Saturday against Verona in Turin,” the club said in a official statement.

Buffon played a key role for Italy in their triumph to FIFA world cup in 2006.
