As a player, Pirlo was a great creator in his team but as a coach he is not that good.
I think he needs to manage a smaller team first where there is no star players to see how good is he as a coach by managing small team.
Juventus as a big team was gambling when they chose Pirlo as a coach.
Next year, Juventus need a more experienced coach in order to maximize the team so they can gain some trophies.

Of course it would also come as a surprise to Juve fans if Pirlo was retained by the President of Juve as mentioned by coinloket$, because no matter how good Pirlo's reputation for president, if Pirlo can't give anything, he should decide to end Pirlo's contract. And I totally agree with you, if Juve wants good results, board must be hire good coach, in strategy also in history.

Altryist, bringing back Allegri maybe good options, but its will need more times for Allegri to rebuild his squad.

If Juventus retain Pirlo next season, it looks like he will not be maintained until the end of the season if at the beginning of the season Juventus have not shown the potential to give positive results at the end of the season. Maybe, the juventus board will see Juventus progress at least until the mid season. However, the decision to keep Pirlo is a gambling for the second time for Juventus, because they have lost the title this season.

Juventus have lost everything this season, and there is a great chance of being left without the Champions League next season. It seems to me that any other coach would have been fired long ago, but Pirlo only holds on thanks to his reputation. Only the return of Alegre will help Juventus, and Pirlo can be left as an assistant coach, let him learn. But I understand that no one will go for it and Pirlo himself will not agree to this.

Is this the last game for Buffon with Juventus or Szczesny already played the last game with Juventus?
Hard to say, anyway the game will start soon and this is the official starting XI.

As far as I know from the news, at least the Juventus board asked Pirlo to resign, I don't know the truth but what is certain is. Juventus needs a more experienced coach if it wants to get back on the scudetto path, if Juventus keep Pirlo even I'm not sure Juventus will be in the top 4. Previously I had a positive view of Pirlo but since there was no outstanding performance then of course, Juventus should immediately look for a new, more experienced coach.

From what is filtered they never asked to step aside.
Pirlo is a man of the president, wanted by the president himself, I believe only he can have a say on the coach's exemption.

From what has filtered instead there would have been a quarrel seven days ago between Paratici and Nedved about the desire to fire him but still, they can not do anything without the consent of Agnelli.

Still Pirlo does not seem to be the born superstar manager. He kind of lacks the aura and presence on the pitch when you compare him with Zidané for example. It might not be his strategic approach, but you also need to be an outstanding communicator. I think Zidané may not be the best strategically, but probably is an outstanding communicator and motivator and is respected by all the players. Juventus was weak this season in so many games, couldn't find solutions and were't willing/able to give it all to win the games.

That is only because he took a team that won championship for 100 years in a row and lost this season. Honestly if Piro had a 10+ point championship this year, everyone would be saying how awesome and great he is but now that he didn't get it, with a team that has won so much, he is seen as a person who "doesn't have that aura" but the reality is that he definitely does, he has the mind for it as well and he has always been very smart when he was playing, he was one of those players (along with xavi) I saw becoming a manager because of how smart they were, same happened with Zidane but that is another story.

So, I think he will improve the team next season and get back to winning ways but it would be unfair to expect such a new manager to keep the streak going, you can't just keep winning every single championship, there had to be one they lost and obviously it was a new manager.

If your statement was fully true how did Flick manage to win seven titles in 18 months with a team that also won the national championship eight times in a row and was seven points behind Dortmund when he took over from Kovac? There is a difference between Pirlo and Flick it seems. By no means would I say that Pirlo is dumb. He is smart and he has been an outstanding player.

But look at Lothar Matthäus, an outstanding player but absolutely not acceptable as a coach. That's why he never even got close to coaching a single German team or a team in another strong league. I think part of the blame goes to Pirlo. I also think he can of course improve as a coach and he will.

It would be if they don't play CL next year. Do you believe Ronaldo would play in the EL?

Amazing Napoli yesterday! I watched the game live and it was real nice football. Udinese's goalkeeper was in very bad day yesterday.
Now I'm focusing on Inter Roma to place a single bet on a correct score: I think it's gonna end 1-1

Napoli showered Udinese yesterday with goals. With a crushing score, he beat 5-1. Thus, it rose to the 2nd place with 36 matches.

Napoli woke up and shown their best performances at end of season and in the important period for the whole Serie A 2020 - 2021 campaign. They have made their position more solidly on the table. The big win against Juventus brought much confidence to Napoli and they've kept showing it against Udinese.

Quote

Tonight, Juventus, AC Milan and Atalanta also have matches with other teams. Of these three teams, Juventus is the most unlucky. They are 3 points behind the other teams. If they are defeated and Lazio wins, the point difference with Lazio will also decrease to 2. If this worst-case scenario happens, Juventus could finish 6 in the league. The scoreboard is very complicated this season. The Juventus adventure for CR7 could end this season.

5th or 6th position is the same for Juventus. They will only feel happy if they end the season in top 4 and have a spot to Champions League. It is a wasteful and failed season for the Old Lady but at least a spot to Champions League will help them have some financial income for next season.

Juventus still have a lot of work to do in order to get a space in the Champion League next season. They won only 2 out of their five last matches, also a great match await them tomorrow. They have to win against Sassuolo tomorrow, to get more points.

If Juventus are unable to join the Champions League, do you think they will be able to keep Cristiano Ronaldo?
I have heard that, if they did not join UCL, they have no financial capacity to pay Ronaldo. Is it true?

If Juventus failed to qualify for the Champions League, I don't think Ronaldo will stay with Juventus. Ronaldo is one of the best players in the world. Although he is now 36 years old. But still he is doing a great job. If he wants to leave the team, there are many teams to take him to the team at a high price.

Actually, to see the quality of a coach can not only be in a relatively short time. I think Juventus have just signed him (Andrea Pirlo) for some time. All the coaches have their own style and strategy.

Even the adaptation to become a coach of a team is very important. But it is too fast for Pirlo to train a team as big as Juventus, he should first familiarize himself with the lower Serie A teams or Serie B teams.

I believe he will become a good coach.
But as you say, he first had to have some experience with a smaller team. He practically finished the course and soon went to Juventus.

Juventus have signed, not because he is a good coach, but because he was a historic player for the club. At this time, they simply trusted the names they had, not the quality. And then, in order not to admit the mistakes made by the coach, still accuse the best player of the team, as he was not working well.

Unfortunately, this time they did everything wrong...

Yes, you are absolutely right ...

It has become like a tradition to make a loyal former club player as the coach of the club. Examples such as Zinedine Zidane (Real Madrid), Frank Lampard (Chelsea), Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (Manchester United). However, Not All Players Are Suitable To Be A Coach.

Not all players are suitable as coaches. There are many coaches who were not so successful as players, but much more experienced and skilled as coaches. Zidane was a great player and he is also very good as a coach. On the other hand, although Guardiola is not very good as a player, but he is an extraordinary coach.

Actually all of their games remaining are going to be tough for Milan. Cagliari and Torino both are fighting not to relegate to Serie B. I think Milan may draw with one of them and win the other game. When it comes to the Atalanta game, it is going to be even tougher for sure. Atalanta defeated Milan 3-0 before. Milan will want to take revenge on that game.

Vs Atalanta, become curcial mathes then. if one of match lose or draw, I think Milan will finish to 4th, but Juventus must be have another lose.

--
Salernitana is one of the Serie B clubs to qualify for playing in Serie A next season. However, it seems that their ambition to play in Serie A potentially disqualified, because this club also owned by President of Lazio. I think Lotito should take the decision as soon as possible to give Selernitana a chance to play in Serie A by selling this club to other if he doesn't want to sell Lazio.

Milan could even climb to the 2nd place again as they have the same points with Atalanta (72) now. It looks like Juventus will have difficulties in the remaining games to promote to the Champions League. And if they don't make it, I'm sure that Ronaldo will leave the team 100%.

I am not sure that AC Milan can reach 2nd place, in the last three games they will play, they will have to play Torino and Atalanta. Torino is not an easy opponent for AC Milan, even though Torino has experienced difficulties this season. Meanwhile, Atalanta has been a consistent team in the last few seasons and become a Serie-A club that has given positive results in the domestic league and UCL. For me, staying in position 3 is good enough for Milan because their target was to qualify for UCL

Actually all of their games remaining are going to be tough for Milan. Cagliari and Torino both are fighting not to relegate to Serie B.

Napoli was super extraordinary today, winning from the first half, down to the end of the game. With the 3 winning points which they achieved, they have secured a nice position on the table. Napoli losing a single match can bring them down from the top 4, they have to win their next match to remain in the top 4 and also Atalanta and Ac Milan have their matches tomorrow, which they will basically win to remain in the top 4.

Juventus still have a lot of work to do in order to get a space in the Champion League next season. They won only 2 out of their five last matches, also a great match await them tomorrow. They have to win against Sassuolo tomorrow, to get more points.

Maybe because you are not following the games played.
I can assure you that the players have no idea what they have to do on the pitch and that Pirlo does not let himself be heard from the bench.
We often hear from the TV Buffon screaming and calling the team but Pirlo only says "move it faster" and does not say anything else.
