Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini claims ‘we have to encourage more football players to study and increase the number with university degrees.’
Chiellini is one of the most decorated Italian players in history with seven Scudetti to his name, but the 34-year-old also recently graduated from the University of Turin with a Master’s Degree in Business Administration.

“We have to encourage more football players to study and increase the number with university degrees. Because life is long,” he told FIFPro to help promote its ‘Mind the Gap’ campaign.
“Life will be beautiful after the end of a player’s career. But you have to prepare first or there is a risk you will get to 35-years-old and not know what to do with your life. Only a few players manage to find a job in football.”
