By way of this (letter) I'm officially announcing my retirement from
professional football. I thank everyone who's helped me during my career.
Firstly my family, my agent, fans, management, referees, people who work in
this sport, journalists, trainers and fellow footballers.
Thanks to the Argentine and Italian clubs where I played and especially to
those who made it possible for me to play in the national side. My continuing
in football will surely be from another place. We terminated my contract with
Al Arabi, my last as a player, by mutual agreement.
From now on, I will continue my contractual, publicity and commercial
commitments and I shall finish my distance learning course in coaching.
