Vieri finished with football	Thursday 22 October, 2009

Bobo Vieri says he is finished with football and doesn’t even have the desire to take up lucrative offers from abroad. The 36-year-old former Juventus, Fiorentina and Atletico Madrid striker was speaking as he begun his legal battle against Inter and Telecom Italia. Vieri alleges Inter and Telecom spied on him during his time with the Nerazzurri in 2005 and is asking for €21m in damages. “I no longer have the desire to play and I am not even tempted to move abroad,” Vieri said at Milan’s Palace of Justice. Vieri rescinded his contract with Atalanta in April this year and has been without a club ever since. He has taken up poker instead, travelling around the world on tour.
