Juventus sack Andrea Pirlo as manager of Italian club after one year

Pirlo's side were knocked out of the Champions League at the last-16 stage

Juventus have sacked Andrea Pirlo as manager after he spent just one season in charge of the Italian club.

The 42-year-old was a surprise choice to replace Maurizio Sarri last summer but under his guidance Juventus failed to win the Serie A title for the first time since 2012.

Massimiliano Allegri is expected to return for a second spell as manager.

Allegri was in charge of Juventus from 2014-19, winning five successive league titles and reaching the Champions League final twice. He is currently without a job.
