Inter president Erik Thohir said Javier Zanetti will retire at the end of the season to join the club management as a director.
He said Inter discussed with Zanetti about his future over the past few months and the Argentine has agreed to stop playing, reported Xinhua.
"The meetings with Zanetti have been going on over the last couple of months to know his vision. The discussion is already done, he'll become part of the management," he said Wednesday.
The captain just recovered from a leg injury and played in Inter's 0-0 draw with Napoli last week.
