Cristiano Ronaldo's coach at Juventus, Andrea Pirlo, has again jumped to the player's defence in the aftermath of him leaving Manchester United.
Pirlo, 43, coached Ronaldo during his third and final full season in Italy before both left Turin. The coach was sacked midway through a two-year contract just five days after the end of the Serie A season, while Ronaldo would go on to return to United during the summer transfer window.
Some 18 months on, Pirlo still doesn't have a bad word to say about his former player.
