But Lippi says: “Andrea was born to do everything, not just be a coach.

“He's capable of just about anything. It makes me smile what people generally think about Pirlo, such as that he's quiet and sulky, but I can assure you he's one of the biggest jokers around.

“When he was a player, everyone thought he couldn't defend and needed a protective midfielder next to him, but the truth is he was very difficult to get past, because he had physical strength, power and a great sense of position. Juve realised he has qualities and charisma outside the norm."
