Andrea Pirlo has opened on nearly moving the Premier League with Chelsea after an amazing career playing most recently for New York City FC.
Now, reports from the Daily Mail suggest Pirlo is looking to become a coach as well as doing work on the TV during match days.
However, he admits he is more of a family man now that his long playing career is over and is essentially catching up on missed time with the family after such a dedicated lifestyle.
I have to do the last licence in September and after that, maybe it will be good for me to become a coach.
Back in 2009, Pirlo was close to joining the Blues, led then by Carlo Ancelotti but terms could not be agreed and the club opted to source for younger players, Pirlo being 30 at the time.
Chelsea said that I was very old – 30 years old!
Pirlo admits it would have been an exciting new challenge in England but looking back on his career is more than happy he stayed in his homeland before finishing stateside.
For sure it would have been a fantastic experience but I’m happy that I decided to stay in Italy.
