“I have the future of Brescia in my heart, as this is a club I have a deep emotional bond with,” Pirlo told news agency ANSA.
“However, my involvement will not go beyond urging local businessmen to make a genuine intervention to save it.”
Pirlo would not be the first Juventus player to own another club, as Gianluigi Buffon is patron of his hometown side Carrarese in Lega Pro.
