Ciro Immobile retirement and FIGC roles

Overview

Italian striker Ciro Immobile has announced his retirement from professional football at the age of 36. The decision was made in coordination with his most recent club, Paris FC, following the early termination of his contract. Immobile cited a desire to prioritize time with his family as the primary reason for his departure, stating in a video message that he wanted to be honest with himself about the need to prioritize his loved ones.

His 17-year career included significant achievements, such as winning UEFA Euro 2020 with Italy and the UEFA Europa League in 2018. He became the all-time leading scorer for Lazio with 207 goals and was the first Italian player to win the Serie A top scorer title four times. Over 656 official matches, he recorded 350 goals and 82 assists.

Following his retirement, reports from Corriere della Sera indicated that FIGC president Giovanni Malagò approached Immobile regarding a potential leadership role within the federation’s management structure, specifically an operational role working with the technical area of the national teams.

In recent reflections, Immobile criticized the lack of modern infrastructure in Italy compared to clubs like Paris FC, Strasbourg, or Lyon, and noted the evolving role of the striker toward advanced playmakers. His former club, Savoia, issued a tribute honoring his professionalism.

Ultimately, Immobile has been appointed as the head of delegation for the Italy Under-16 national team. This decision, driven by Malagò, aims to provide young players with a professional role model. Immobile expressed a desire to give back to the sport by sharing his experiences with the next generation.
