Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini has signed a new two-year deal, which will extend his career with the Turin side to 18 years.

Chiellini's new contract, which runs until the summer of 2023, will see him play beyond his 38th birthday.

The 36-year-old was out of contract when he captained Italy to the European Championship title in July.

"He forms a big part of Juve's history, yet also the present and the future," the club said in a statement.

Chiellini has won 14 major trophies in 16 years with Juve, including nine consecutive Italian league titles between 2011-12 and 2019-20.

He was also part of the Juventus team that won promotion back to Italy's top flight in 2006-07 after being relegated to Serie B for their part in the Calciopoli scandal.
