After announcing his retirement from football just a few months ago, Andrea Barzagli returns to Juventus with a different role. The former defender will work in Sarri's first team coaching staff, as announced by the Bianconeri with an official statement on their website: "A few months have passed since we last saw Andrea Barzagli. On 19 May 2019, before swinging aloft his eighth consecutive Scudetto trophy to the sky, he was presented to the fans by President Andrea Agnelli at Allianz Stadium.
But it was only a farewell to him as a football player, a simple goodbye, between us. Now, there is splendid news to be shared, in fact, Andrea has officially returned to work with Juventus.
More precisely, ‘Barza’ will be a Technical Collaborator of the First Team, and he will be present tomorrow at his first training session... this time, on the sidelines of the football field."
