Juventus Sack Head Coach Pirlo After Just One Season

Serie A giants Juventus have officially sacked Andrea after just one season at the club.

Juventus announced Pirlo’s exit in a statement released on their official website on Friday.

“Thank you, Andrea. These are the first words that all of us need to say at the end of this special experience together,” Juventus official statement reads.

“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 own means, especially in a period marked by thousands of difficulties, with the world forced by the pandemic to reinvent its own 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 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.”

Pirlo replaced Maurizio Sarri last summer and won the Coppa Italia and the Italian Super Cup.

However, Juventus missed out on their 10th Serie A title in a row and managed to earn a Champions League spot in the final match of the season.

According to several reports in Italy, Pirlo is now in talks with Sassuolo.

Former coach Massimiliano Allegri is believed to have signed a three-year deal with Juventus on Thursday and his return to the club will be announced today with an official statement.
