The new Bayern Munich manager understands the Italy coach's decision to leave the midfielder out of his Euro 2016 squad due to tactical reasons.
Incoming Bayern Munich coach Carlo Ancelotti believes Antonio Conte has left Andrea Pirlo out of his Italy squad for Euro 2016 because the veteran midfielder does not fit his pressing style.
The 37-year-old was somewhat surprisingly snubbed for the finals in France despite the absence of Claudio Marchisio and Marco Verratti in midfield.
Ancelotti was not surprised, though, and feels Pirlo's move to the MLS with New York City cost the experienced midfielder his place.
