Official: "Juventus" said goodbye to A. Pirlo © AP

On Friday, the "Juventus" club officially announced that the head coach Andrea Pirlo is leaving the team. The legendary Italian took over the reins of the club just last summer, but the first season did not go smoothly. Although "Juventus" won the Italian Cup, they lost the country's champion title and were eliminated from the UEFA Champions League by "Porto" team. Despite this, A. Pirlo publicly stated several times that he is ready to continue leading the "Juventus" team. However, the club officials had different thoughts. Massimiliano Allegri is expected to return to the team's helm in the near future, who led "Juventus" from 2014 to 2019. Thank you for everything, @Pirlo_official! - JuventusFC (@juventusfcen) May 28, 2021
