Agree it's not exactly long term but then again how old was Pirlo when Juve signed him? 32?
As long as he can do the job to a good level I'd say we could get a decent 5 years out of him.
What qualifies as 'long term' these days anyway?
Pirlo is a top class player who doesn't really rely on his physical strength and stamina but more on his skills.
Antonelli is a run of the mill Serie A defender. A FB at that, a position that is more physically demanding compared to what Pirlo does
I don't think the situations can be compared.
Well, DS would be long term, especially if he gets his act together. These constant injuries are not helping in that department that's for sure.
