There are many questions to this appointment. What type of football does play, does he have required tools to express his football. I hope he dont end up like Pipo Inzaghi, Seedorf and Ferrara. Id hate to see him sacked in midseason. :xfingers:

hopefully no zonal marking though... We will see, he has a team that doesnt really need much to play good football. He knows how the good midfield should work so maybe he will have few tweaks here.

I wanted it to happen, players like Pirlo make the best coaches and he is determined to follow that path.
But not yet, i am not sure if he is ready, but i said the same about Conte and he was proved ready.
My main concern is that Pirlo was my best plan B for x-mas, in an event the new coach was proved early a failure.

Now that I’ve taken the time to process this I’m actually excited about a Juventus led by this guy. Even if just for the motivational side of things everybody will respect him for the legend he is. High morale will surely play a big part on the performances.

Hopefully he can translate whatever ideas he might have to change our system and most importantly whatever player we sign can fit into that.

I think the plan B is Max, and Pirlo will be back to U23 if that happen

Any system you play will most likely fail if all players don't follow it. Zonal marking is fine, if all players know how to implement it. Same goes for pressing, pressing will fail if one of the attackers don't press, you could see often last year and this year when only Ronaldo is pressing the others are walking. Whatever type of football he plays I hope he gets the right players to implement it.

I promise I won't watch any Juve match until mid September.

Absolutely braindead move. The situation to sign a world class coach could literally not be better. The likes of Pochettino, Allegri, Wenger, Marcelino, Blanc, Conte etc. are without a job, and coaches like Deschamps could've been easily available, yet we turn to someone who has literally 0 minutes of experience on the bench.

nah, he calls us every other week and telling us to F off.
Maybe they think we can waste a month (should rookie, unknown as coach Pirlo not do well) and still win the scudo, meaning they're still searching for a coach and waiting for Sarri to find new employment for financial reasons.

Surely a calculated move? Otherwise, very, very unJuve-like decision.

my brother is a barcelona fan. (yeah i know)

he said he's feeling some guardiola vibes: unproven coach, but has the utmost respect of all players. he's got the winning dna, knows the club, is familiar with the league, was perfectly disciplined tactically.

at this point, any flexibility, proper people management and some motivational skills would take us forward. forza pirlo.
