'Pirlo is the perfect coach for me!' - Rabiot confident new Juve boss will help him improve

Adrien Rabiot has described Andrea Pirlo as "the perfect coach" for him, while expressing his confidence that the new Juventus boss will help him improve his all-round game.

Pirlo was appointed Juve's new U23's manager on July 30, which marked his first coaching role since hanging up his boots in 2017.

The Italian ended up spending a total of just nine days in the role, as he was asked to step up and take charge of the senior squad following Maurizio Sarri's sacking.
