The Old Lady have only played twice so far this season and followed a 3-0 win over Sampdoria with a 2-2 draw away to AS Roma before the international break, in a game in which Cristiano Ronaldo scored a brace.
For Andrea Pirlo the transition into coaching has been relatively smooth but the former Italy international has revealed that life in the dugout is more stressful.
“It’s definitely more stressful in the dugout because on the pitch I could decide what I wanted to do with the ball," said Pirlo, who won four Serie A titles with Juve as a player.

“From the dugout I can manage, but it’s other people that are interpreting their role, that are playing the matches, so it’s a bit tougher as a coach.
“When I was playing, I had a certain style which meant I could be involved in certain situations and be decisive in certain situations on the pitch.
“Now, I have to do that on my own from the touchline.”
