Juventus coach defenders Andrea Bardzagli decided to leave the club, reports La Stampa.

The reason was not any conflict, but the desire to take a breather. While in quarantine with the Barzagli family, he realized how much he lacked during his playing career, when he was constantly busy playing for the national team and club.

Barzagli finished his career at the end of last season. At first he refused to enter the Turin coaching staff, but in September he nevertheless undertook to help Maurizio Sarri.

Juventus after 26 rounds of Series A leads the standings, ahead of Lazio by one point. Italian Championship planned to resume June 13.
