Fox Sports has announced that ex-Italy international defender Giorgio Chiellini will join the network this summer as a studio analyst.
Chiellini will provide analysis during Fox’s coverage of Euro 2024, which is set to run from June 14 to July 14.
The 39-year-old captained Italy at Euro 2020 (which took place in 2021), leading the Azzurri to the title with a penalty shootout win over England in the final at Wembley Stadium.
Chiellini earned 117 caps with the Italy national team, becoming one of the most iconic players in its history. He also played 18 seasons with Juventus, leading the Bianconeri on an incredible run that saw the club earn nine straight Serie A titles between 2011 and 2020.
After spending the last two seasons of his career in MLS with LAFC, Chiellini retired at the end of the 2023 season and took a position as a player development coach with LAFC.
“The UEFA Euro is of massive importance and is a tournament that will always be special to me, so I was honored when I received the call with the opportunity to commentate,” Chiellini said in a news release.
“I’m very proud to be a part of the Fox Sports family around a competition this big, and I look forward to being serious, but also having some fun at the desk, while continuing to be a part of growing the beautiful game here in the United States.”
Fox is set to announce its full list of Euro 2024 broadcasters in the coming weeks.
