And on Tuesday, he held his first session with his star-studded squad that will see Gonzalo Higuain depart in the off-season as Pirlo informed the Argentine he is surplus to requirements with the Bianconeri.

The Serie A champions are expected to still undergo another major off-season of transfers with Pirlo aiming to change the tactical set-up to a 4-3-3 system and away from the traditional back-three.
