Official: "Juventus" taken over by A. Pirlo © juventus.com

The“ Juventus“ team did not delay in finding a new head coach. Just a few hours after the announcement of Maurizio Sarri's dismissal, it was officially announced that the helm of the “Old Lady“ team will be taken over by Andrea Pirlo. The 41-year-old Italian was entrusted with an important position, despite the fact that he has never worked as a coach before. A. Pirlo was supposed to be appointed as the club's U-23 manager last month, but he didn't even have time to warm up the bench for the “Serie C“ team. The former midfielder, who played in Turin from 2011 to 2015, helped the club win the Italian championship four times and reach the final of the Champions League. A. Pirlo has also become a world champion with the Italian national team.
