Juventus told sacking Pirlo would make them 'wrong twice' as Cannavaro calls for patience

Juventus have been warned that sacking Andrea Pirlo would make them “wrong twice”, with Fabio Cannavaro urging the Bianconeri to be patient with a rookie coach that they trusted to fill a demanding role.

Club legend Pirlo was handed the most distinguished of managerial reins in the summer of 2020 when presented with an opportunity to cut his coaching teeth at the highest level.

Pirlo’s lack of experience has been highlighted by many in an uncharacteristically challenging season for Juve, with there now plenty of calls for him to be removed as a more proven performer is drafted in.
