Udinese coach Andrea Stramaccioni is urging Antonio di Natale to play on after he scored in victory over Torino.
Di Natale has announced he intends to retire at the end of the season.
"It makes no sense to retire now and I will try to convince him with these remaining games," said Strama.
"He can't be a player for 38 matches per season, but in 20 he still makes the difference."
