Andrea Pirlo may lose the chance to take a prestigious position.

As reported by "La Gazzetta dello Sport", the specialist aiming to become the head coach of the Italian national team has faced significant criticism for his ties with the terrorist state of Russia.

According to the press, the country's football leaders and fans were upset that A. Pirlo works for a Russian betting company.
