Private sources have confirmed to Goal that Andrea Pirlo will become the new coach of Juventus, succeeding the suspended coach Maurizio Sarri.

The management of Uvei had sacked Sarri on Saturday evening, hours after the European exit at the hands of Lyon in the round of 16 in an unexpected surprise.

Many names have been associated with coaching the Bianconeri, such as Mauricio Pochettino as well as former coach Massimiliano Allegri and Ernesto Valverde.
