Luciano Moggi is through with soccer, the former powerful general manager of Juventus told a Rome court on Monday.
''Soccer is a world that doesn't concern me any more, I don't want to come back,'' he told a trial where he faces charges of manipulating the transfer market.
Moggi, who was banned from soccer for five years in the separate Calciopoli scandal of 2006, is on trial with five others including his son Alessandro and Davide Lippi, the son of Italy's World Cup-winning coach Marcello Lippi.
They and another three people connected with GEA World, a players' management agency run by Moggi's son, are accused of gaining an illegal hold over the Serie A transfer market by intimidating players into dropping their existing agents and signing up with GEA.
A sentence is expected to be returned in January.
For Calciopoli, Moggi and 24 others are set to stand trial in Naples in January in a criminal case stemming from the match-fixing scandal that rocked Italian soccer in 2006.
Moggi and the others, in both cases, deny all charges.
