(Reuters) - Goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, one of the biggest names in Italian football over the past two decades, has returned to champions Juventus for another season after a year at French club Paris St Germain. He was originally planning to retire last year but decided to play on and joined the French club, making 17 league appearances. The Juventus veteran, capped by Italy 176 times, was also part of the national squad which won the 2006 World Cup. However, he has never managed to bring the Champions League trophy home. Italian media reported that Buffon will not replace Wojciech Szczęsny as first-choice goalkeeper for Juventus but serve as a back-up.
