ROME (AP) - Juventus have decided to elevate their U-23 team coach Andrea Pirlo to head coach of the senior squad on Saturday, just hours after sacking Maurizio Sarri.
Sarri was relieved of his post on Saturday afternoon, after Juve’s Champions League exit at the Round of 16 to Lyon
As a player, in Pirlo’s four years at the center of the Juventus midfield, he won four league titles, a Coppa Italia and two Italian Super Cups.
The 41-year-old had just returned to Turin last month to start his coaching career by taking over the U-23 team, but the new appointment means he will steer the first team even without having managed a single match.
