The captain earned his status as club symbol throughout sheer passion, determination and hard work, and he also became a national hero for his colossal displays at Euro 2020.
The center back returned from an injury earlier in the tournament to lead the Azzurri’s triumphant campaign alongside his longtime teammate, Leonardo Bonucci.
Upon returning from his summer vacation, the first order of business for the 36-year-old was the signing of his new contract.
Chiellini officially put his signature on a deal that would keep him in Turin for two more seasons, meaning that it will extend his Juventus career to 19 years.
“Best not to think about that, it’ll make me feel even older!” he laughed on Juventus TV.
“I am happy, even if it seems like a formality, these are important steps in life. I arrived here barely an adult and now I’m part of the family."
