Juventus Relieves Pirlo Of His Job

Andrea Pirlo has been relieved of his job as the coach of Juventus Football Club.

Gatekeepers News reports that Juventus has sacked coach Andrea Pirlo on Friday.

Pirlo in his only season as the manager of the club led Juve to the Coppa Italia and the Supercoppa Italiana titles finished fourth in Serie A and were able to secure a Champions League spot on the final day of the season.

Juve announced his departure from the Allianz Stadium in a statement: “Thank you, Andrea.

“These are the first words that all of us need to say at the end of this special experience together. A few months ago, Andrea Pirlo, an icon of world football, began his new adventure, his first as a coach.

“To do this, first of all, it takes courage, as well as awareness of one’s means, especially in a period marked by thousands of difficulties, with the world forced by the pandemic to reinvent its rules day after day.

“Pirlo has just begun the first steps of what will no doubt become a brilliant career as a coach. An adventure of transformation, seeking, and often managing, to bring his ideas and his experience as a champion on the pitch from the “other side” of the fence.

“And since in football, what counts are the victories, let’s remember them: in the space of a few short months, Pirlo’s Juve has raised two trophies: The Italian Supercup and the Coppa Italia. And he, as a coach, brought home brilliant victories on the most prestigious of fields, from San Siro to Camp Nou.

“For all this, for the courage, the dedication, the passion with which he demonstrated every day, our thanks go to the Maestro, the Coach, and to Andrea, that really comes from the heart. As well as our good luck for the future that will surely be a wonderful one.”

Juve are, however, set to welcome Massimiliano Allegri to the club after leaving for two years.

Allegri before leaving Juventus in the summer of 2019 won five successive Serie A titles for the club.

Gatekeepers News gathered that he is expected to return to the Turin giants on a €9m (£7.7m)-a-year deal. It
