Vieri a bigger star than ever before as former Italy striker lets it all hang out by the beach

Christian Vieiri had more clubs than hot dinners - or maybe not if our pictures are anything to go by.

Vieri became the world's most expensive player when he joined Inter Milan from Lazio for £32million in 1999 and also turned out for the likes of AC Milan, Juventus, Fiorentina, Atletico Madrid and Monaco before hanging up his boots in 2009.

And the former Italy international is certainly enjoying his retirement.

Vieri let it all hang out on Miami Beach this week and enjoyed a few belly laughs with friends as he soaked up the sun.

The 38-year-old was linked with a move to Blackburn when he decided to call it a day a couple of seasons ago but it's not all been bad news.

Vieri, along with fellow Italian legend Paolo Maldini, is involved with the Sweet Years fashion label as well as several restaurants. We're not sure where he's been spending the most time but we could probably take an educated guess.

However, the former Italy international is unlikely to struggle for glamorous models for his clothes business as the list of his old flames includes Elisabetta Canalis, Elena Santarelli, Debora Salvalaggio, Fernanda Lessa and Melissa Satta.

We just hope his men's range comes in bigger sizes.

Vieri should never feel down about blowing up as even the world's best striker suffered a similar fate when he called it a day. Check out Ronaldo on holiday below.
