The 39-year-old full-back is still going strong for the Nerazzurri having featured in all but one of their 18 games in Serie A this season.

But when Zanetti, who has been with Inter since 1995, finally decides to bring the curtain down on a glittering career, he will remain at the San Siro in a coaching capacity.

The Argentina international intends to stay in Italy and will only return to his homeland for charity work.

"The club has given me a lot. My life is now in Italy and when I stop playing I will coach at Inter," he told Ole. "It is all settled, I was good for the club all these years and that will continue in a new role. I will remain in Milan with my family."

Zanetti added: "I often return to Argentina, but only for events or activities related to the Fondacion Pupi. And so it will continue to be."
