Juventus have turned the page Andrea Pirlo. Qualified in extremis in the Champions League by finishing 4th in Serie A, and eliminated from C1 in the round of 16 against Porto, the Old Lady saved the essential last season but preferred to separate from her coach, a novice, to recall Massimiliano Allegri. She undoubtedly launched the 2006 world champion too early, who was initially supposed to take over the Turin U23s. Fate has decided otherwise. Discreet until then, Pirlo has long confided in The Athletic where he returns to this unsuccessful first on a professional bench.
He feels he was unsuccessful and was not helped by the circumstances. “I learned a lot, it was my first experience as a coach but it was very intense because we started the season with only one friendly match. Everything happened really fast. We played every three days, without putting up with it, without being able to recover and without being able to train to prepare for the next match. It was difficult to try something new because the recovery was what was most important, “he defends himself, he who has been looking for a coherent team all season, without ever really finding it.
From now on, he is free and hopes to find a new project quickly. Polyglot after spending a few years in the United States with New York City, he would see himself going to the England side, or even to Ligue 1, since he seems to have made a little call of the foot. “When the results are not achieved, the first responsible is the coach. I have to work to do better. But it was a year that I grew up. Now I would like to go abroad, I spent three years in the United States so I have no problem with English and I also speak French ”.
This is a message that will not go unnoticed among French clubs in search of a spotlight. He plans to go to Camp des Loges soon. “I can go anywhere. I watch a lot of matches and I observe the other coaches. You can learn from anyone. I see a lot of workouts online. When it is easier to travel, I will go see it in person. I met Mauricio Pochettino on vacation in Ibiza and he asked me to come to Paris. If I can, I would also like to go to Manchester to see Guardiola. But I am ready to embark on a new adventure. ” A good hearer.
