Alessandro Del Piero confirms move to Delhi Dynamos

Alessandro Del Piero has confirmed that he will be playing for the Delhi Dynamos when the inaugural Indian Super League begins later this year.

The Italian, who has been a free agent since leaving Sydney FC in April, joins the likes of Robert Pires, Freddie Ljungberg and former Juventus teammate David Trezeguet in signing up to play a key ambassadorial role for the league.

"I am very enthusiastic about this new adventure, it fits perfectly well with the way in which I chose to move forward since I left Juventus three summers ago," Del Piero, who won the World Cup with Italy in 2006, revealed in a statement.

"I've never wanted repeat the paths I've already walked, I have never looked for emotions that I've already experienced, those are unique and will remain unique and special forever."

The ISL kicks off on October 12.
