The unexpected often happens in soccer, and the recent incident involving Andrea Pirlo and Cristiano Ronaldo is no exception. Former Juventus maestro and Sampdoria’s boss Andrea Pirlo’s coaching career has hit a rough patch. Despite his celebrated playing career, the Italian has struggled to make his mark as a manager. In a recent scenario, furious supporters exuded their frustrations at Pirlo and claimed Cristiano Ronaldo used to coach at Juventus rather than Pirlo, putting the Italian under heavy scrutiny.

As Pirlo continues to fail to match the expectations of Sampdoria fans, the club’s ardent supporters have labeled him a failure as a coach.

Fans make bold claim involving Cristiano Ronaldo after Pirlo’s woes

Andrea Pirlo, a decorated midfielder and an iconic player, has had tough luck in his coaching career. His current stint with Serie B side Sampdoria has been anything but inspiring. After a tumultuous journey in Serie B, the matter escalated when Sampdoria suffered a shock 4-0 defeat against Serie A side Salernitana in the Coppa Italia. As the Sampdoria squad returned to Genoa’s Cristoforo Colombo airport, angry supporters lashed out their frustration amid the club’s disappointing results.

As reported by Blasting News, after the woeful performance of Sampdoria in Coppa Italia, fans labeled Andrea Pirlo as a failed coach and claimed that he didn’t know a thing about coaching a soccer club. One disgruntled fan went as far as to say, “He is a great man, but as a coach, he doesn’t understand sh*t. In Turin, at Juventus, Cristiano Ronaldo used to give him the formation.”
