Juventus name club legend Andrea Pirlo as new coach after Maurizio Sarri sacking
Italian giants, Juventus have appointed Andrea Pirlo as their new head coach on a two-year deal after sacking Maurizio Sarri following the club’s Champions League elimination against Lyon.
Pirlo, 41, who was a legendary player for the club was only named as Juventus Under-23s manager 10 days ago but has now signed a two-year contract to coach the first team.
A Juventus statement read: “The club has decided to entrust him with the technical leadership of the first team, after having already selected him for Juventus Under-23.
“Today’s choice is based on the belief that Pirlo has what it takes to lead, from his debut on the bench, an expert and talented squad to pursue new successes.”
Andrea Pirlo played 164 games for Juventus between 2011 and 2015 and won four Serie A titles in Turin after joining from AC Milan, where he spent most of his career and won two Champions League including two league titles.
He also spent two years in Major League Soccer at New York City FC after leaving Juventus.
Pirlo, who retired in 2017, also represented Italy on 116 occasions and won the 2006 World Cup with his country.
Congratulations sir.
He was a good player in juve.
He had got good experience.
I pray for the best sir.
Congratulations sir.
You would make a better coach it’s written all over you.
I wish him best of luck. But I think he should restructure the entire team by discharge some players and get young and talented lads. At least he will still add more experience along the way.
Though I do not use to watch football but I wish him a successful tenure with them.
When one door closes another one opens. So is life.
To the sacked coach, I wish him well in his future endeavors and to the new coach, I wish him success
Congratulations
That’s a good idea
Their will make a right coach
Congratulation sir
