The 41-year-old Pirlo, who has no previous top-level coaching experience, has signed a two-year contract until June 2022. He had recently been appointed coach of the Juventus U23 side, who play in the third division. "Pirlo has

Chelsea will be looking to bounce back from their FA Cup disappointment this evening as they face a difficult test away to Bayern Munich in the Champions League last-16.
