The difference is that Klopp had a proven track record, had taken a over a struggling team and improved them.
How do we know Pirlo would improve with more time? How do we know that we wouldn't get worse?
The track record of his career suggests the latter given where we were when he took over and where we are now.
Giving time is only worthwhile if you are confident you have made the correct appointment.

I think you can argue the opposite as well.
Who would not have struggled being handed the hand that Pirlo got?
Playing every 3 days the entire season, no preseason, first year at the club, rejuvenation of the squad, covid.
The only coach that comes to mind that would surely overcome that in the league is Conte. Pep and Klopp can take time, Zidane has never done this, we saw Allegri have a horrid first half of the season when we shuffled the team in his second(?) Season, etc.
It's not such a straight forward situation.

I agree he has taken over in very difficult circumstances and would always have had a challenge this year.
My point is what has he shown in his career to suggest that he should be given the faith to turn it around and why do people think he can turn it around?
How do you know if given more time we will not be worse?
He had no track record of showing any success as a manager. Whereas I could see the argument for giving someone like Klopp more time because he has shown he can build a successful team.
We've changed a lot but a lot of that is self inflicted by Pirlo. When Allegri took over from Conte he kept the 3-5-2 and gradually made his changes. Same for Sarri when he took over. Pirlo was naive to try to change everything at once, especially with no preseason.
If we hired a guy off the street would we make the same case that if he gets more time things will improve?
The issue is that we have no idea if Pirlo is going to be a good manager and unfortunately for him his lack of track record has to be considered. Plus what we have seen so far this season, the odd subs, selections, bizarre tactics don't help his case. How do we know he isn't another in a long list of excellent footballers who are not good managers?

Can't get over if this peasant had defeated our joke of an opponent porto, our next would be another joke, dortmund, a team with legs wide open like a whore..which any competent rookie coach would beat with our current squad and reserves.
Past that beating peeverpool or psg is very possible if we had just integrated a simple effective system, plug the holes, defend and counter, get the ball to CR/morata..win the fucking thing 1-0 over two legs, even against porto and dortmund if he had to.
But this moron who mistakes himself for a genius, decided to play beautiful football and got us a 4-4 so be sure to thank him those of you who don't like catennacio.
Agnelli seems to be doing too much coke off pirlos tits to even remember catennacio dominated the world.
This shit will hurt a while.

Do you want a high line and high tiki approach for Juve? Beautiful modern football approach, a what is the fad right now approach? You don't like to win CL games 1-0 you like to win 3-2? that's a beautiful mentality keep going.
Fun FACT: fads like tiki get figured out and fade like it has but a tight organized system doesn't fade away and to figure it out the opponent has to take chances and change style not the principally organized team.
