After 15 clubs and 300-plus goals, Luca Toni is calling it a career.

Saying “Verona made me once again feel like a major player,” Toni released a statement on the Hellas Verona web site.

Toni tied for the Serie A lead in goals last year at the age of 38, and has represented Palermo, Fiorentina and Bayern Munich along the way.
