Official: Pirlo Sacked As Juventus Coach
- Juventus bid farewell to Andrea Pirlo via a statement on the official website..
Juventus have confirmed that Andrea Pirlo will leave the club after just a single season at the helm, EKO HOT BLOG gathered.
Pirlo failed to deliver major success in his first season and is now reportedly set to be replaced by Massimiliano Allegri.
Under Andrea Pirlo, the Bianconeri saw their dreams of winning a tenth consecutive Scudetto dashed. It was baptism by fire as far as the former club legend was concerned and it’s fair to say that he was dropped straight into the deep end. Juventus had an ageing core and lacked a proper identity on the pitch.
However, he still managed to secure Champions League qualification, albeit on the final day of the season and also won the Coppa Italia. But for a club of Juventus’ pedigree, that’s simply not enough.

Juventus bid farewell to Andrea Pirlo via a statement on the official website.. It reads:
“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 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.”
Juventus also acknowledged Andrea Pirlo’s contributions during his short tenure. They added:
“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.”
