Sampdoria: agreement found with Andrea Pirlo

Andrea Pirlo, after his experience in Turkey, will start again from Serie B. The Brescia coach, in fact, has reached an agreement with Sampdoria, which after failing to make an assault on Fabio Grosso has turned to the former AC Milan and Juventus midfielder.

According to reports from “Sky Sport,” the former Brescia man will sign a two-year contract with an option for a third with the Blucerchiato club. The 2006 World Champion beat off competition from Marco Baroni and Marco Giampaolo, who were also in the running for the Ligurian bench.

For Andrea Pirlo this is his third experience on a bench, after Juventus and Fatih Karagumruk, with whom he dissolved his contract last May.
