Pirlo (41 years old) was announced this Saturday as the new coach of Juventus in Turin when he took the witness of Maurizio Sarri, who was dismissed after the elimination in the second round of the Champions League at the hands of Olympique Lyon. Pirlo, who did not hesitate to take the reins of the ‘Vecchia Signora’ for next season, published a message through social networks and was “ready for this fantastic opportunity” that has been presented to him.
“I am honored and proud to receive so much respect and trust from Juventus. Ready for this fantastic opportunity! “, the Bianconero technician wrote on Twitter.
The former Juventus, Milan and Inter player will have his first experience on the bench in a real challenge on a personal level. At first, the one from Flero (Italy) was going to train the Juvenstus U-23 (Series C), but the European setback of those from Turin precipitated events and with it their arrival in the first team. Signed until June 30, 2022, but surely Juventus hopes that Pirlo can be their new “Guardiola” or “Zidane”.
