Juventus is currently going through quite a difficult time. Andrea Pirlo's position is very likely to be replaced at the end of the season.
The Bianconeri have just lost to AC Milan in the Serie A event, Monday (10/5/2021) in the morning. The defeat sent Juventus thrown into fifth place in the standings.
Juventus are now at risk of losing their top four positions at the end of the season. They are threatened that they will not play in the Champions League next season.
This condition puts Pirlo under great pressure. The former Italian national team midfielder can be fired and can replace another coach.
So, if Pirlo and Juventus had to separate, who could be the replacement? Here is the list.
10 Coaches Who Can Replace Andrea Pirlo
1. Zinedine Zidane
Zinedine Zidane is currently in charge of Real Madrid. The French coach's contract at the Santiago Bernabeu will expire in 2022.
However, Zidane's future with Real Madrid is in doubt. Zidane reportedly could be fired if Los Blancos failed to win La Liga at the end of the season.
Zidane himself has a classy reputation with Real Madrid. He managed to win two La Liga titles and three Champions Leagues.
2. Gennaro Gattuso

Of the 11 trophies, five of them were Serie A titles. Amazingly, Allegri won the five titles with Juventus in a row.
4. Gian Piero Gasperini
Gian Piero Gasperini put in a good performance with Atalanta. He managed to make La Dea as one of the respected teams in Italy.
Gasperini is known for his attacking style of play. This style of play makes Duvan Zapata et al appear entertaining and also score lots of goals.
Atalanta is listed as the most fertile team in Serie A this season. They are also able to surprise in the Champions League for the last two seasons.
5. Joachim Loew
Joachim Loew will resign from the position of coach of the German national team after the 2021 European Cup. After that he is ready to look for new challenges in his career.

6. Luciano Spalletti
Luciano Spalletti has experience coaching a number of top Italian teams. That includes AS Roma and Inter Milan.
Spalletti's performance at Inter wasn't all that bad. He was able to lead the Nerazzurri to qualify for the Champions League in two seasons.
However, Spalletti has won two Coppa Italia trophies and a Supercoppa Italiana title with Roma. He also won two Russian League titles with Zenit St Petersburg.
7. Simone Inzaghi
Since deciding to pursue a career as a professional coach, so far Simone Inzaghi has only handled Lazio. He handled the Biancocelesti from the academy to the first team.
However, Inzaghi's achievements are quite encouraging. He successfully led Lazio to win the Coppa Italia 2018/2019 season and returned to appear in the Champions League after a long absence.
Inzaghi's contract at the Olimpico will expire on June 30, 2021. However, the negotiation process for his contract extension at Lazio has yet to come to light.

However, Flick's co-existence with Bayern was coming to an end. He has already decided to leave the club at the end of the season.
9. Ernesto Valverde
Ernesto Valverde has had great achievements with Barcelona. He has won two La Liga titles, one Copa del Rey and one Supercopa de Espana.
However, Valverde then had to leave the Camp Nou on January 13, 2020. Since then he hasn't returned to the sidelines.
Before handling Barcelona, Valverde successfully presented three Greek League titles and two Greek Cups. He also appointed the Supercopa de Espana with Athletic Bilbao.
10. Roberto De Zerbi
Apart from Atalanta, Sassuolo is a dark horse team in Serie A this season. Roberto De Zerbi is the figure behind Sassuolo's attacking play.
Since replacing Giuseppe Iachini in 2018, De Zerbi has been able to bring Sassuolo to talk a lot in Serie A. He has managed to help the club perch at number 8 this season.
