“It can happen in the last game before Christmas to start thinking about the vacation, but we were sluggish and unfocused, so inevitably we then lost.”

ANDREA - WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO REALISE THAT IT IS YOUR JOB TO FOCUS THE PLAYERS????!!!!

Oh well, Del Piero is doing his coaching badges in the summer so we have a ready made replacement for when Pirlo fails miserably

This is a another learning experience for the rookie coach.

Everyone has a plan until you’re punched in the face. The team didn’t respond well. Can’t really expect a rookie coach to know how to get his team to respond when the wheels fall early on.

I’m not clearing blame or making excuses for Pierlough but it is what it is when you zoom out and look at it objectively
I agree . Also i don't have any agenda against him and still respect him till the end .
He should have never been put in charge , now he has to see it through , because if he doesn't make it here , he isn't going to get another job like in Juve anytime soon .
So i understand him not resining also.

We've turned into AC Milan haven't we?

They were the dominant force, they forced out Allegri, they made a string of bad management choices including unqualified ex-players, they put unqualified ex players as Directors, they sold top players and replaced them with garbage.

With Max we could win games with 10 men in Serie A

man, i love pirlo, but this task is well beyond his paygrade, and the busy schedule with plenty of old, not physical enough players doesn't help too much either. team rarely works as a unit, this goes way beyond tactical preparation. leadership is not something you can learn from the textbooks, and we learn it the hard way: we do lack fighters on the pitch. de ligt and ronaldo are simply not enough.

and i see why pirlo wants a striker during this winter mercato: we don't score enough. too bad two of our strikers are easily among the 3 of our best players. we need creativity from the back, and if anyone, pirlo himself should definitely know that.

If the rumors are true and pirlo vetoed chiesa for aourar then it looks like that's where we are heading. :(

After reading that, now I seriously doubt he has the personality to become a top manager at the highest level.
Team's looked sluggish all season but nah 'its Christmas and team were unfocused'. A bit unprofessional there.

I'd rather not make the same mistake twice :p

Let him coach the likes of Crotone first.

Edit: Alright. Sarcasm I guess :p

Either he's too straightforward or taking the pressure off himself and the team

I really hope it's the latter.
it surely has to be the latter. we aren't conceding the league after 13 matches, are we. agnelli would absolutely kill for such a pussy mentality. he certainly wants his 10th scudetto

I'm not sure it was worse and Sarri had the benefit of taking over from a functional Allegri team.

Pirlo inherited a mess of a team.
Really? We lost the likes of Matuidi, Higuain and Pjanic, but got Arthur, Kulu, Morata and Chiesa instead. I would say that’s an obvious upgrade.

Though i agree the team as a whole is a mess, but that was the case under Sarri too.
