But Pirlo is now on the hunt for another new club after having his contract terminated with immediate effect.

Legendary playmaker Pirlo turned his hand to management after an incredible career on the pitch.

He managed just one season as Juventus boss before being sacked in 2021 after blowing their chances of a tenth straight title.

Pirlo then got the chance to redeem himself when Turkish minnows Karagumruk came calling last summer.

He struggled for results early on before going on a decent run after the World Cup.

But three defeats in their last four games has left Karagumruk ninth in the table, 35 points off league leaders Galatasaray.
