As expected, Andrea Pirlo will be working with Igor Tudor as his assistant manager at Juventus, plus Roberto Baronio as a technical collaborator.
The deal was already mentioned in the Hajduk Split statement that confirmed Tudor was leaving the Croatian club for this new experience.
It is an intriguing move, considering Pirlo has no managerial experience at all, whereas Tudor has been a coach at Hajduk Split, PAOK, Karabukspor, Galatasaray and Udinese.

It's even reported that Tudor paid a third of the €450,000 release clause himself to be allowed out of the Hajduk contract.
This is a return to Turin for the Croatian, who was a defender here from 1998 to 2005.
Baronio and Antonio Gagliardi will be technical collaborators, while Paolo Bertelli returns to Juve as Head of Athletic Preparation, working with Andrea Pertusio and Enrico Maffei.
Claudio Filippi and Tommaso Orsini work with the goalkeepers, while Riccardo Scirea, Domenico Vernamonte and Giuseppe Maiuri are all assigned to match analysis.
Juventus begin pre-season training in Turin tomorrow.
