Juventus Sack Andrea Pirlo, New Manager Set To Be Announced Soon

Juventus have sacked Andrea Pirlo after just one season with the club set to announce Max Allegri as their new boss in a bombshell managerial announcement.

The Serie A giants confirmed Pirlo's departure on social media, thanking their former player for his services.

And, according to Fabrizio Romano, the Turin outfit will appoint their old manager Allegri who enjoyed a spell from 2014 to 2019.

Allegri, 53, won five Serie A titles and four Coppa Italia cups during his prolific first reign at Juve.

He also reached the Champions League final twice, losing to Barcelona in 2015 and to Real Madrid in 2017.

Juve qualified for the Champions League by the skin of their teeth as they failed to defend the Scudetto title.

They finished in fourth place with 78 points, 13 points adrift of champions Inter Milan.

Like Juve, Inter also got rid of their manager from this season with Antonio Conte leaving the San Siro. His contract was terminated by mutual consent.

Conte has since been linked with the vacancy at Real Madrid with Zinedine Zidane leaving his post.

He's also been rumoured to take charge of Tottenham who are on the hunt for a new manager following the ruthless sacking of Jose Mourinho last month.
