[Saba Sports News] Former Italian national team player Alessandro del Piero, who played for Juventus, recently worked hard to earn his coach’s license. He intends to stay involved in football-related activities and hopes to eventually coach a team he loves. Recently, Del Piero updated his latest post on social media. He posted a picture of himself holding his newly obtained coach’s license, smiling broadly. In his caption, Del Piero wrote, “From today on, you can call me ‘Coach.'” He expressed gratitude to the Italian Football Federation and all the teachers who accompanied him through his coaching courses. He also specifically mentioned the support from his family during his learning process. This achievement marks Del Piero’s official entry into the coaching field and the start of a new chapter in his career. Having earned a UEFA Professional Coaching Certificate, the now 50-year-old is qualified to coach teams in Europe’s top leagues and participate in European competitions. The editor believes that having a legend like Del Piero transition into coaching will attract more media and public attention, thereby increasing awareness of the entire coaching industry. This move plays a positive role in promoting the development of the coaching profession and attracting more excellent talents to work in coaching.
