Andrea Pirlo named new Juventus coach
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Juventus have named Andrea Pirlo as new head coach on a two-year contract just hours after sacking Maurizio Sarri.

Pirlo was only named the club’s Under-23 head coach last month but has secured a major promotion before even taking charge of one match with the Serie C outfit.

It will be a major challenge for the 41-year-old who has never managed before, either at youth or senior level.

“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,” a statement from Juventus read.

Pirlo returns to Juve having starred for the club between 2011 and 2015.

The midfielder helped lead the Bianconeri to four straight Serie A titles as well as the final of the 2014–15 Champions League.

He represented Italy on 116 occasions and was a member of his country’s victorious 2006 World Cup team.

His playing career ended in 2017 after a three-year spell at MLS side New York City FC after which he began preparing for a career in coaching.

Pirlo will take over a team that has won nine consecutive Serie A titles but has continued to fall short in the Champions League.

Sarri was sacked after just one season despite winning the Scudetto at the first time of asking.

Juventus were shockingly eliminated by Lyon in the Champions League last 16 on Friday as a 2-1 victory over the Ligue 1 side was not enough to avoid an exit on away goals in a 2-2 aggregate final score.
