Andrea Pirlo

Andrea Pirlo is returning to Italy as coach of Serie B club Sampdoria.

Atalanta broke a 20-year curse to end its winless run against Juventus on Sunday as it managed a 1-0 home win in the head-to-head race for third place, the first victory over the Bianconeri in Serie A since 2001.

A muscle issue will keep Cristiano Ronaldo out of a key Serie A match at Atalanta on Sunday.

Cristiano Ronaldo is accustomed to using his legs to score goals, not concede them.
