End of an Era Chiellini coming soon

LAFC centre-back Giorgio Chiellini has announced his retirement from football at the age of 39 after an illustrious career that saw him win countless trophies both domestically and internationally.

Like with each iconic player who announces their retirement from football, EA tends to give them an End of an Era card to celebrate their footballing career, and there's no doubt that Chiellini is deserving of a special send-off in FC 24 Ultimate Team.

The Italian played for three clubs during his career, including Livorno, Fiorentina, Juventus, and LAFC, with the majority of his successes coming with Juve.

Chiellini also captained Italy to the European Championship trophy in 2021, as they beat England on penalties.

Although it won't happen in FC 24, Chiellini could return to future titles, as a Hero or an Icon, which is very exciting!
