Former Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo has explained taking the Fatih Karagumruk job.

Pirlo has signed a 12 month contract with the Turkish outfit.

The Italian was presented at a local media conference on Monday.

He said, “For me it is important to start again after a year's stop.

"I had many talks with other teams, both in Italy and abroad, but hearing the ambitions of this team convinced me to come here, also because they're the same ambitions as mine."
