Pirlo, 44, finds work in his native country. He who left the Juventus Turin bench after the 2020-2021 financial year is the new coach of Sampdoria Genoa. Samp has signed Pirlo for a period of two years, until 2025. Freshly relegated to Serie B, the club is seeking to return to the elite of Italian football as soon as possible. Especially since its lifelong rival, Genoa, has managed to go back to Serie A.
The former midfielder was last season at the head of the Fatih Karagumruk team in Turkey.
