Pavel Nedvěd confirms Juventus departure

Table of Contents
Czech veteran Pavel Nedvěd has announced that he will leave Juventus this summer, but that does not mean he will be quitting football.

Nedvěd had said in February that he would retire at the end of the season.

"After eight years at Juventus the time has come to say goodbye and thank all the fans, teammates and the club for all the support I have received in this time," he said in a statement published by the official Juventus website.

"I won four Scudetti and the Ballon d’Or in Turin. I particularly want to thank my wife Ivana and our children, who have accompanied me during this extraordinary journey. From Monday onwards, I will think about my future.

"I will continue to feel close to Juventus and I’m particularly grateful to the Agnelli family for giving me the opportunity to play for this great club. I can assure you economic reasons had nothing to do with this decision."

It is curious that the 36-year-old is leaving the Old Lady, but not necessarily hanging up his boots for good, as confirmed by his agent.

"For now we say goodbye to Juve, a decision that was already very difficult," noted Mino Raiola on Sky Italia.

"From Monday we will think about the future. Sunday will be his last game in the Bianconeri shirt.

"I have already received many requests from Italy and abroad. We never asked Juventus for guarantees on tactics, players or a future as a director."
