Gianluigi Buffon has stated that he intends to finish his playing career at Juventus, but would like to coach a national team such as China or the United States once his time on the pitch is over.The 33-year-old's future has been in doubt, but he recently committed himself to the Turin giants and is in North America on the Italian side's pre-season tour.
"I have never thought of coming here [United States] to end my playing career," he told American reporters.
"I’ll stay at Juventus for as long as they trust me."
However, the ex-Parma goalkeeper admitted that a future coaching role may appeal although that was still some way off. He added: "In three or four years I’ve got the crazy idea in my head that I’d like to be the coach for USA or China. Both would be incredible experiences."
It has recently been confirmed that Antonio Conte's side have signed Arturo Vidal from Bayer Leverkusen, who has joined Andrea Pirlo and Reto Ziegler amongst others as new faces at the Stadio Olimpico and Buffon feels it could be a good season for the 27-times Italian champions.
"We [have] certainly reinforced the squad and I’ve seen a strong willingness to sacrifice from everyone," he said.
"We must remember the last two years and learn not to repeat the mistakes of the past."
