Pirlo verbal agreement to become Italy head coach. I don't know, it hasn't worked out for him anywhere so far. He did a bang up job in the 2nd division of the UAE, though. Maybe the most important job in a country's football federation will be where he finally shines.

Ok but who really wants the Italy job right now? That talent pool isn't great, the youth teams aren't producing great talent, and you have an insane amount of pressure to do well in the next big tournaments. Pirlo being a legend will work as well as Gattuso but might work out well. If things go really bad, Pirlo can just go play instead

Kazuyoshi Miura, the world's oldest professional footballer, scored his first goal in nearly four years at the age of 59 for Japanese third-tier side Fukushima United.
Yes, and fans should have attended the matches in their Austin 7 car, wearing a suit and flat caps, and twirling wooden rattles.
The faclities (or lack of) were 50 years out of date. The only good thing was the seating was closer to the pitch. It was a shit place to get to, and the council introduced unnecessary parking restrictions on match days.
I had a season ticket there for 30 plus years, and going to away games sshowed what a hole it was.
I remember trying to find a pub after a match. Obviously the nearest to the stadium was rammed, so that wasn't an option. Kept walking down the main road.
Oh look, a fabric shop... And a curry house... And another fabric shop... And another curry house...
Kept going for a solid half hour and couldn't find shit, and this was back in the mid-2000's. Fucking depressing.
If I were Zenit I'd be rushing to offer Pirlo a blank check just to piss Europeans off some more lol. This is so dumb and such performative handwringing. That was probably his last opportunity at a big job too.
