Andrea Pirlo determined to continue at Juventus after Coppa win
The HinduJuventus coach Andrea Pirlo said his goal is to continue managing the club that he loves after steering his side to a Coppa Italia triumph over Atalanta on Wednesday, the Italian's first trophy since taking charge last summer. Pirlo's first season as Juve coach has not gone to plan as the reigning champion failed to mount a Serie A title defence, and goes into Sunday's final round of matches needing other results to go its way to finish in the top four. The season will not finish trophyless, however, after goals from Dejan Kulusevski and Federico Chiesa helped Juve beat Atalanta 2-1 in the Mapei Stadium to take home a 14th Coppa Italia crown, easing the pressure on Pirlo. Atalanta, looking to win its first Italian Cup since 1963, was much the better team in the opening period, but it fell away in the second half to prolong its Coppa Italia drought.
