Andrea pirlo confirmed as new Juventus coach

 Andrea Pirlo is going to be the new Juventus manager. He has been choosen by the president Andrea Agnelli to replace sacked couch maurizo sarri.....

Pirlo was named manager of Juventus’ U-23 side less than two weeks ago, but the expectation is that he will now be promoted to first-team manager. Given the unexpected nature of Sarri’s departure, and in the timeframe in which it occurred, it would appear the Juve board was either fully prepared to install Pirlo in short order, or hadn’t even considered the possibility they might have to fire Sarri.

The 41-year-old has no prior experience in management. He retired his playing career in 2017 after three seasons with MLS side New York City FC.

Pirlo takes over an aging squad which, while it has won nine straight Serie A titles, is in desperate need of a rebuild.
