Juventus have announced the return of Andrea Barzagli as a technical collaborator to Coach Maurizio Sarri.
Barzagli only retired from professional football at the end of last season, which also marked the end of spell with Juve as a player.
However, the Bianconeri confirmed on Tuesday afternoon that the 38-year-old had re-joined the club to form part of Sarri’s backroom staff.
His official title is Technical Collaborator of the First Team and he will begin his duties as early as tomorrow.
