A lot of coach talk. This season has had many surprises regarding coaching hirings and other coaches leaving at the end of the year. The most surprising moves are Xavi and Klopp who have decided to leave at the end of the year. Also Guardiola who was able shut some haters up about his style of play. And who should be Man United's successor. Enjoy!

A deep conversation about the Superleague and why I despise it. Also a few words for my friends and fellow teammates, Daniele De Rossi who was appointed head coach for Roma and Giorgio Chiellini who recently retired. And the hot take of the week is about the superstars of the MLS...is it a smart choice to bring them in. Tune in!!!!

Talking about your dark moments in your career is tough. I never like doing so but I think it's important to share the "bad" side of your career just as much as the good side. Those moments are what make you the person you are today. My guests, Luke Bongiorno (physical therapist) and Eric D'Agati (performance coach), helped me navigate through the toughest times of my career. Hope you enjoy!

Great convo with Peter Curto, founder of Supra Soccer Agency, regarding our Italian American heritage, about relationships between agents and players and how they changed. Also the whole MLS landscape and if it will be a top league one day. Most important is the discussion about the#10 position. is it really gone? Enjoy the podcast!!

Closing out my career the way I wanted to...my own destiny in my own hands. I couldn't have asked for more. Post career ventures and what I'm doing trying to fill the void that soccer has left in my life!
