Roma icon Daniele De Rossi has decided to retire from football, according to Sky in Italy.
The 35-year-old played his last game for the Serie A side in May but claimed he wanted to carry on playing, with Fiorentina, AC Milan and Boca Juniors manifesting their interest in signing him on a free transfer over the past month.
However, after a period of reflection while on holiday, Sky in Italy say De Rossi has decided to hang up his boots and kick off his career in management, following in the footsteps of his father Alberto who is coaching the Roma youth team.
It is thought that the midfielder was not keen on joining another club after 18 seasons with Roma.
