Sydney: Italy great Alessandro Del Piero will line up with Australia`s A-League All Stars for the first time in August against his former club Juventus, where he spent 19 years.

The 39-year-old striker captained the Turin-based club for 11 years and played for them until 2012, scoring 290 goals in 705 matches.

Del Piero then arrived at Sydney FC on a two-year deal and was appointed skipper for the ongoing season.

The ageing star has not yet decided on signing a new deal and the August 10 match in Sydney could be his last in Australia.

"We`ll see what will happen for next season," Del Piero said. "I really don`t know what will happen but everything is good at the moment."
