Retirement
Paolo Montero reportedly retired in late May 2007 after attending a team training session in order to say goodbye to his teammates. His current squad had tried to persuade him to come back to football, with teammate Ruben Capria saying that "it's a tough blow to lose our captain".
He played his final match in which also was Marcelo Salas' farewell match. Salas also was formerly of Juventus, however with a much less impact on the Italian club.
