Toni to confirm retirement

 

Verona have announced that Luca Toni will hold a press conference on Wednesday to confirm his retirement after a 22-year playing career.

 

Toni, 38, was widely expected to hang up his boots last season but agreed to stay on and help Verona remain in Serie A.

 

However, the Italian minnows failed to beat the drop on this occasion despite Toni’s best efforts and he will now call it a day at the end of season.
