Pirlo was sacked by Juventus and replaced with Massimiliano Allegri after finish fourth in Serie A last season.

The Old Lady threw two points away in their season opener against Udinese yesterday as Luca Gotti’s side recovered from two goals down to pick up a point against the Bianconeri.

Andrea Pirlo’s son Nicolò, 18, appeared to aim a dig at both his father’s successor and Juventus fans sharing a controversial Instagram story which he later removed.

“Football is nice because it would have been only one person’s fault had Juventus suffered such a comeback last season,” the message read.

“However, that person is not there anymore.”

The message included a picture of Pirlo and the son of the former midfielder added clapping emoji.

Nicolò Pirlo removed the message after a few minutes, but he wasn’t quick enough to avoid its spread on social media.

Pirlo began his coaching career at Juventus last term and is now waiting for a new offer, either from Italy or abroad.
