Marco Materazzi has completed a memorable summer by signing a new four-year contract at FC Internazionale Milano.
Staying until 2010
The Italy defender scored in the final as the Azzurri won the FIFA World Cup before learning that Inter were retrospectively crowned 2005/06 Serie A champions following the Italian match-fixing tribunal. The 32-year-old's previous deal was due to expire in summer 2009, meaning he has been given an extra 12 months at the Giuseppe Meazza stadium. He joined Inter for the 2001/02 campaign and has since made 105 league appearances, scoring eight goals. Materazzi has been capped 32 times.
