Juventus have named their former midfielder Andrea Pirlo as the club’s new manager on a two-year contract, the Serie A champions announced on Saturday.
The decision comes after the Turin club sacked Coach Maurizio Sarri following their Champions League round-of-16 exit to Olympique Lyonnais on Friday.
It’s a massive gamble from the club management who only just appointed Pirlo as Under 23 coach, only to promote him to the senior squad immediately.
Pirlo has no experience of managing a professional team at the top level, having only just completed his coaching course at Coverciano.
The 41-year-old Pirlo, who made 164 appearances for the club between 2011 and 2015, is tipped to achieve a lot as he did during his time as a player..
