The Bianconeri are bidding farewell to the club legend after just one season at the helm, with a familiar face set to step into his place.

Juventus have confirmed Andrea Pirlo will be leaving the club after just one season as head coach, with the path now cleared for Massimiliano Allegri to return to Turin.

Goal learned on Thursday that a familiar face – one that previously guided the club to five Serie A titles – was being lined up for a second stint at the helm.

Pirlo had experienced a baptism of fire in management and the top-four finish he secured, along with Coppa Italia glory, has not been enough to keep him in post.

What has been said?

A statement on Juve’s official website 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.

“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. 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.”
