On how he intends to manage his players Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo gave some hints a few months back.
Having no coaching experience, and has only been named coach of the Under-23 team, which participates in Serie C, the 41-year-old was promoted to the key job a week later instead of Maurizio Sarri who was fired.
It’s not certain what kind of football he’ll be seeking to introduce at the Bianconeri, but a few months ago the longtime midfielder offered some clues during a streaming conversation with former teammate Fabio Cannavaro.

“It’s up to the team, but I like 4-3-3 with everybody blasting in. Lots of possession, if possible I want to keep throwing the ball around, even behind the bench!”
“I prefer 4-3-3, but you can adjust and use them with a specific framework once you know that players can’t always function that way. If you are so stuck on a method and the players can’t do it, then you waste time and don’t get the most out of it.”
According to Football Italia, some have even dug up remarks made during the 2018-19 season by Pirlo while working as a pundit for Sky Sport Italia.
“The midfield is the problem of Juve. They recruited Cristiano Ronaldo, but they have to find the best way to provide service to him.”
