Massimo Ambrosini has announced that he has left Fiorentina after just a single season with the Serie A club.
The veteran midfielder made 21 league appearances for the Stadio Artemio Franchi outfit after calling time on his 18-year Milan career at the end of the 2012-13 campaign.
However, in a press conference on Tuesday, Ambrosini confirmed that he would not be spending a second season in Florence.
I m here today to announce that my time with Fiorentina has come to an end, he said. I want to thank the city of Florence. It s been an exceptional, wonderful year and I ve met some amazing people.
I wish my team-mates all the very best of luck for next season.
And the 36-year-old believes his future may now lie outside his homeland.
I want to give my future some careful thought, he continued. Unless something totally unexpected happens I think I ve probably finished with Italian football.
Ambrosini s agent claimed he was keen on new contract last week, but the player himself hinted an extension had never been discussed, adding: You only talk about money when you plan to go on together.
