Gianluigi Buffon’s agent believes the goalkeeper has what it takes to not only become a coach but also manage Juventus. ‘He understands football.’ 

Buffon retired from international football in 2018 and is due to turn 42 in September, despite recently extending his contract with Juve.

Gianluigi Donnarumma has so far taken over the veteran’s No 1 shirt for Italy, but Silvino Martina felt there were two others still in with a shout.

“Meret and Perin are two great goalkeepers,” Martina told Radio Kiss Kiss.

Juve face Napoli at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome tomorrow at 20.00 UK time (19.00 GMT).

“I am playing less this season, so naturally when I do step on to the field, I am more fired up than ever,” Buffon told DAZN.
