Andrea Pirlo’s Juventus tactician ‘will be unique, even as a coach’, believes former Milan teammate Kaka.

Kaka admitted that he did not expect his old teammate to take on a top job so quickly.

The former international from Brazil played in Milan with Pirlo.

“It’s fun. I enjoy seeing my former teammates being involved in great teams,” Kaka told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“He seemed destined to take over the youth team and work his way up, but he has already arrived there.”

“OK, Andrea knows football,” Kaka said. “It will be nice to follow him.

“He has been fortunate to work with and learn from many great coaches. Ancelotti, Allegri, Conte…”

“In the end, I still think Pirlo will be unique, even as a coach.”
