Pirlo should be dismissed. The chances of him being successful next season is very, very slim. People compare him to zidane and pep, forgetting they had some time on the bench prior to their appointments. Zidane was on mou's staff, then assistant to ancelotti, then real castilla. Pep also spent some time as assistant at some mexican club, then barca B, then barca.
Pirlo hasn't even been on the bench in any capacity. He just passed his license last year and was with juve B for what, 1 week?
Aging squad and totally inexperienced manager. They are there for the taking. We will be favorites for the scudo going into the season, no matter what Conte might want to say.
