I feel sad he left, yet somehow relieved. He's been very poor this season and when needed in the CL he did not step up as a leader. Thank you for everything, we will always remember your first 3 seasons here!!!

So sudden, asked for reduced role for him in the team, but to be gone so suddenly sucks big time. Was hoping the first talk last month of him staying til Feb was the more likely one...
He just posted this to facebook (with automatic translation below) :
Può essere difficile trasformare le emozioni in parole, soprattutto se coinvolgono 4 anni così importanti della mia vita. Posso solo dire un enorme GRAZIE a tutti coloro che mi hanno accompagnato e sostenuto in questa avventura: la società FC Juventus a partire dal nostro presidente, senza dimenticare ogni singola persona che ci lavora; i miei compagni di tante battaglie, di molte risate e di qualche lacrima; i tifosi e tutti coloro che mi hanno sempre seguito con affetto anche nei momenti meno belli. Grazie di cuore a tutti voi. Non è stato semplice decidere, ma è arrivato il momento di iniziare una nuova avventura, che però non mi farà mai dimenticare il legame che ho con questi colori. Fino alla fine FORZA JUVENTUS. Juventus
It can be difficult transform emotions in words, especially if they involve 4 years so important in my life. Can I just say a huge thank you to all those who I have accompanied and supported in this adventure: Society fc juventus starting from our president, without forgetting every single person who works there; my comrades of many battles, many laughter and A few tears; the fans and all those who I have always followed with affection, even in the less beautiful moments. Thanks to heart to all of you. It was not easy to decide, but the time has come to start a new adventure, which does not, however, I will never forget the bond that I have with these colors. Until the end strength juventus. Juventus

Thanks for everything, Maestro.
Always one of my favourite players, even at Milan (and even when he scored twice against Scotland...) so I was delighted when we signed him.
One of the main reasons for our rise back to the top, that first season it seemed like other players couldn't even get near him. We had a solid, hard-working team, with Pirlo just gliding around, making things happen.
So many times in the last four years, he'd decide a match with one moment of brilliance, whether it was a free-kick, or a perfect pass.
The way he could buy himself space and time, the way he held off that exact fraction of a second needed to play a pass, the weight he could put on them - poetry in motion.
To see him cry after that Champions League final was like a kick in the heart, and I'm genuinely gutted that he'll never get to lift that trophy in Bianconero, it's what he deserved.
The kind of player you'll be telling your grandchildren about, class personified.
THANK YOU PIRLO!
