Pirlo oversees first Juventus session

The new coach took charge of their initial 2020-21 pre-season get-together at the Continassa ground in Turin today.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who arrived back in Turin last night, took part along with the rest of the squad.

De Ligt – who had surgery on his shoulder – and Dybala did not attend, as they are still undergoing rehabilitation for their injuries.

Pirlo was accompanied by his staff, including assistant manager Igor Tudor.

The squad worked in small groups, as per medical protocol, focusing primarily on athletic exercises.

The coach will hold his first press conference today afternoon, having replaced Scudetto winner Maurizio Sarri.
