Andrea Pirlo becomes the new Sampdoria coach
Former Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo has been appointed as a manager of Serie B side Sampdoria on a two-year deal.

His second role was at Fatih Karagumruk in Turkey, which he left in May after finishing seventh in the Turkish Super Lig.
Sampdoria were relegated at the end of the Serie A season.
As a player, Pirlo was one of the finest deep-lying playmakers ever. He won the 2006 World Cup with Italy in 2006, and enjoyed tremendous success at Juventus and Milan.
Pirlo retired in 2017 following a distinguished career in which he won multiple trophies, including two Champions Leagues and six Serie A titles.
He was appointed manager of Juventus Under-23s in 2020 before taking charge of the first team a week later following the dismissal of Maurizio Sarri.
