ANDREA PIRLO has confirmed he will leave Italian champions AC Milan next month.
The 31-year-old has called time on his San Siro career after spending 10 glittering seasons with the club.
He said: "It's a mutual decision, I've had 10 unforgettable years here."
After joining from rivals Inter, Pirlo went on to win nine major honours with Milan, including two Serie A titles, two Champions League crowns and a Coppa Italia.
He also played a key role in Italy's 2006 World Cup success, forming an excellent central midfield partnership alongside Milan team-mate Gennaro Gatusso.
Pirlo made 284 league appearances for the Rossoneri, scoring 32 goals, but a string of injuries hampered him this term and he fell out of boss Massimiliano Allegri's first team plans.
But Milan, who won their first scudetto since 2004 earlier this month and face Udinese in their final game of the campaign on Sunday, revealed Filippo Inzaghi and Alessandro Nesta have signed new one-year deals.
