Italian footballer who won the World Cup and the Champions League. He has been coaching since 2020. He coached Juventus first; now he is in charge of Fatih Karagümrük team in the Turkish Super League.
Briefly, his football career: 1 World Cup championship, 2 Champions League championships, 6 Italian league championships, and the "prime minister" who left no trophies unearned. They wore this nickname despite playing for Inter, Milan, and Juventus. The respect for Pirlo is at its peak.
Notorious FIFA players like me know well, he was among the iconic players of FIFA20. Even if he didn't take part, he certainly wouldn't lose anything from his icon. Because he is also a fashion icon in Italy.
Pirlo was born in Brescia. His brother Ivan also played in Brescia's lower teams. He played for Brescia between 1994 and 1998 and in 2001 (on loan). He transferred to Inter Milan in 1998. However, it was leased to Reggina in 1999 and to Brescia in 2001. He transferred to Milan. He won the Italian League title twice and the Champions League title once at Milan.
Andrea Pirlo played as an offensive midfielder until Carlo Ancelotti came to Milan. However, Ancellotti played Pirlo as a playmaker. He played in Milan for 2,782 minutes in the 2006-2007 season. In 2007, he was nominated for the FIFA Football Player of the Year Award.
At the age of 32, he was sacrificed in Milan and made his way to Turin for a small price. He started the "regista" movement in today's football in Juventus. It has aged like wine. At the age of 39, he transferred to New York City and ended his football career in NYC.
I brought up the wine issue for nothing. He owns a wine brand named Pratum Coller, which he produces from Merlot and Trebbiano grapes at the foot of Mount Netto. A true wine gourmet.
His biography book was released in 2017 and it caused a sensation in Turkey because of his words about Fatih Terim. It may have angered Galatasaray fans a little…
He married Deborah Roversi in 2001 and they have a son named Niccolo and a daughter named Angela. He ended his 13-year marriage because he fell in love with Valentina Baldini, whom he met at a golf club in 2014. I don't know how accurate it is to make a connection between his relationship life and his career, but the peak of his performance coincides with the period when his relationship with Valentina started. Love has been good to Pirlo...
His relationship with Valentina still continues. I stalked his Instagram account in detail. Everything seems fine. The Prime Minister is not only sharing a post with Valentina but also squeezing passionate sentences into the statements. The couple has twins, Leonardo and Tomasso, who are 3 years old.
Let's come to the reunion of their paths with Juve… In 2020, after the elimination of Juventus by Lyon in the Champions League, Sarri was sacked, and he became the technical boss of the Turin team with the dust of his feet. This rapid rise was not found strange by anyone, everyone had full confidence.
Interestingly enough, Juventus captain Gianluigi Buffon was 42 years old. Coach Pirlo was a year younger than Buffon and they had played together for years. This is the first time we have seen such, dear audience!
Juventus has been dusting Italy for 9 years. He lists the championships one after the other, but he had a 25-year longing for the Champions League trophy. Pirlo was on the verge of ending this longing twice in his acting with Juventus, but he could not lift the trophy.
June 2022
Andrea Pirlo, one of the legendary players of Italian football, signed a one-year deal with VavaCars Fatih Karagümrük.
Corriere dello Sport newspaper, "Why did Pirlo go to Karagümrük in Turkey?" made a news.
In the news, "Fatih Karagümrük likes the Italian style very much. That's why they took players playing in Italy. The former coach of Juventus will find a suitable environment to start work," it was said.
The newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport also discussed Pirlo's adventure in Turkey.
The article said that "Karagümrük is a club that is not well known at the international level, but looks like a happy oasis for Italians".
Pirlo said at the press conference, "I have met many teams from Italy and abroad. But the ambition of this club convinced me.
Choosing was not easy. But I thought this adventure was the ideal choice for my career. I have always followed foreign leagues such as the Turkish League. I saw that there were other Italians on this team and that made me follow the team."
