Pirlo says he would confirm himself as Juve manager for next season if he could

The manager spoke after his men defeated Atalanta 2-1 in the Coppa Italia final on Wednesday

Andrea Pirlo would confirm himself as the manager of Juventus for 2021-22 if he had the power to do so, he said after Juventus beat Atalanta 2-1 in the Coppa Italia final on Wednesday.

He has been under heavy scrutiny for much of the campaign because of an early Champions League exit and poor league performances relative to the standard in Turin.

Juventus enter the final weekend of the season at risk of missing a top-four finish, and Pirlo's job status appears in jeopardy.
