A. Pirlo rejected an offer to return to "Serie A" © JumpStory

Andrea Pirlo could have returned to coach in the Serie A championship, but he rejected the offer. Journalist Fabrizio Romano reports that former midfielder was offered a job by the Salerno team "Salernitana", which is currently in last place in the Italian championship. Due to poor results, the Serie A newcomer dismissed head coach Stefano Colantuono and sought a new coach. Initially, Salerno's team's priority was to attract the legendary Italian player Andrea Pirlo to the head coach position, but the former Juventus coach refused the job. Last season, A. Pirlo had a difficult season with the Juventus team, which led to the 42-year-old specialist being replaced by Massimiliano Allegri. Last season, the "Old Lady" barely made it to the top four of Serie A. On the other hand, the team managed to win the Italian Supercup and the Italian Cup. Meanwhile, it is now clear that "Salernitana" will have Davide Nicola as their new coach.
