Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo has completed his UEFA coaching qualifications just days before taking charge of his first match with the Bianconeri.
Pirlo earned his UEFA Pro coaching licence and completed his final exams on Monday, before the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) gave the final approval on Wednesday.
A UEFA Pro licence is required in Italy for any manager taking charge of a team in Serie A or Serie B.
The FIGC announced that Pirlo had scored 107 out of 110 on his final exam, making him the second-best student behind former Genoa boss Thiago Motta, who scored 108.
