Italy midfielder Gennaro Gattuso will retire from the national team after the World Cup.
Speaking two days before the Azzurri's opener against Paraguay, the 32-year-old Gatttuso said that at his age it's ``only fair to cede space to players with more gas in their tanks.''
Gattuso is coming off a difficult season at AC Milan, when he struggled with a knee injury and was often relegated to the bench.
The combative midfielder is expected to be a sub for Italy at this tournament, but has a chance of starting against Paraguay on Monday due to Daniele De Rossi's injury.
