Pirlo rejects Australian opportunity

Australian second tier side Avondale FC offered Andrea Pirlo a deal, but it’s reported the Italy legend isn’t interested. Pirlo retired after leaving Major league Soccer side New York City FC, and played a farewell match at San Siro in June. According to ESPN, Avondale asked him to come out of retirement in time for the FFA Cup quarter-final against Sydney FC on September 19. However, Pirlo’s representatives made it clear he’s not interested.
