Andrea Pirlo was one of the more surprising names mentioned as a possible replacement for Ronald Koeman when the rumor mill went a bit crazy before the international break.
The former Italy international was sacked after just one season in charge of Juventus where he oversaw wins in the Coppa Italia and Suppercoppa Italiana but could only lead his team to fourth place in Serie A.
It’s the first time in 10 years that the Turin giants had missed out on the title with Inter Milan finishing top of the pile, some 13 points ahead of Juventus in the end.
