The loss to Benevento was the 40th game in the career of coach of Andrea Pirlo. Absolutely. If we do not start from this data, we do not frame the question in its context. The Juventus coach is in the crosshairs, after a loud thud that opens a thousand questions. That he came up against his friend Inzaghi, one who started at a thousand an hour and then had to dive into the stormy ocean of the lower echelons, is certainly iconic. The data remains: forty games as a coach. Each one is a discovery, for those who had no experience in a profession very different from that of a footballer. Today it seems all Pirlo’s fault. But Juventus knew it and he deep Today it has more or less the same consistency as the collective exaltation that Italy has taken, or at least a part of it, when Agnelli he bet on one of the greatest footballers of all time and suddenly put him on the bench of the most successful team in Italy.
Juve has bet everything. That the idea was in the air was understood by the famous conference in which the president of Juventus himself and Fabio Paratici Pirlo had been presented as a sub 23 coach. Unprecedented, even more so if we consider that we were talking about the second team, a member of Serie C. The investiture of the future was clear. I just imagined it was for the following year, with Sarri destined for another year by Charon (more or less). Then lightning in the cloudy sky, the Tuscan torpedo, and the tipping point. Everything and immediately. It’s not always cool. Juve is not doing very well, which for the first time in the last ten years has not won the Scudetto and sees fourth place dangerously close. Pirlo is not doing very well: he may deny it to everyone by winning the next eleven games and kicking off Juventus’ next cycle of victories. Today, however, it seems difficult to even imagine a reboot. The flight of Icarus is an image that sounds appropriate. On the other hand, he pays for his own faults and also for those of others. He was wrong, but he also had intuitions. Turning him into a scapegoat is an incongruity, which on the one hand he does not deserve and on the other has nothing to do with the objective. You have not been given the luxury of being able to make mistakes, which is the first phase of any learning process. You deserved it, but if you drive a custom-built car, you can’t have it. Finally, it is not going very well even for those who have bet, and for this reason it has understandable difficulties to retrace its steps.
It moved all in, too fast. For the second time, it would be added. Because pretending that a coach like Sarri, with all the difficulties of the case linked to his past, could turn like a sock the philosophy of a team that had been winning in one way for eight years, in pursuit of a good game, was utopia. Tuscany was the first bet, in a way, and it didn’t pay off. He didn’t even have much time to do it, even if rejection crises are like this: better to intervene immediately, somehow. With Pirlo, Juve put everything at stake, from head to toe. Sarri was a somewhat shared election, which arose from Allegri’s dismissal and also derived from the non-presidential election upon Conte’s return. Agnelli personally invested heavily in Pirlo, after the other leaders had devoted their time to the revolution a year earlier. Going back, therefore, is difficult for everyone. It was a gamble to pretend that a huge footballer would at least become a great coach overnight. Of which all the protagonists are likely to come out, to varying degrees, burned.
