Pirlo to Lead Italy National Team
The Italian Football Federation approached Ancelotti, then Guardiola, but in the end they are going to hand the national team job to Andrea Pirlo.
A world football legend with the ball at his feet, his coaching CV pales in comparison with those of the main candidates for the role.
Pirlo began his coaching career in 2020 in Serie C with Juventus’ reserve team, but after Sarri was dismissed he took charge of the first team. Before being sacked, he won a Coppa Italia, a Supercoppa and secured fourth place in the league.

He later coached Turkish side Fatih Karagümrük, Sampdoria, and United FC of the United Arab Emirates, the latter two clubs in the second tiers of their countries.

Vozinha Joins New Club
