Italy captain Fabio Cannavaro has announced he will retire from the national team after the World Cup.

The 36-year-old Cannavaro has been capped a record 132 times for Italy.

"They already say I'm too old, so I can only imagine what they would say in August," said Cannavaro.

The Juventus veteran defender took over the captaincy after Paolo Maldini left the national team in 2002.
