Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon is unsure what the future holds when he finally decides to retire from football.

The 37-year-old currently holds the number one jersey for both Juventus and the Italian national side and although he has no immediate plans to hang up his goalkeeping gloves, Buffon has admitted that he is unsure what he will do when that day arrives.

”I don’t think I’d like to be a head coach,” he told May’s edition of GQ magazine. ”I would maybe like a smaller coaching role or maybe a management role within a club.”

Buffon also revealed the pride he felt in being the captain of the Azzurri, ”Being the captain of the national team, for me, is a beautiful thing.  My sense of belonging to this nation is something I believe in very much,what’s not to love about this country?”

Buffon is preparing to face to Real Madrid on Tuesday night in the semi-final of the Champions League and victory over two legs for Juventus would see them reach the final in Berlin, the scene of Italy’s 2006 World Cup triumph.
