    He said: "I will never join the national team again. My adventure with the Azzurri finishes here."

    Nesta, who won 78 caps, was part of Italy's squad that won the World Cup in Germany in 2006.

    He has not played for his country since injuring his right thigh in the third game of Italy's World Cup campaign.

    Nesta underwent shoulder surgery in December and returned to help Milan win the Champions League, but opted to sit out Italy's recent European Championship qualifiers because he was getting married.

    He joined Milan in 2002, recently signing a contract extension keeping him at the San Siro until 2011.

    its weird. When there was a lot less money in the game, players seemed to play as long as possible for their national team. Now when even one season could set you up for life, a lot of players quit their national team to prolong their career and earn even more money!
