Former Inter striker Christian Vieri has blown the final whistle on his football career, declaring that he has lost all passion for the game.

"I no longer have the will to play, and I am not even tempted by playing abroad," Vieri told the press in Milan.

Vieri was outside the Court of Milan for the latest hearing into his legal battle against Inter. The Italian is suing the club for allegedly tapping up his phone when he played there. That case is still ongoing.

The former striker has been unemployed since leaving Atalanta by mutual consent towards the end of last season. Reports suggest he will turn his hand to professional poker.
