Chelsea, can Pirlo convince Conte to stay?

Chelsea, can Pirlo convince Conte to stay?

Andrea Pirlo has recently announced that he will be retiring from football come December as he might then look for another adventure in the world of football. His playing career will be over, as Pirlo is viewed as one of the greatest midfielders of the past two decades but will a coaching career be of interest? According to the English press (via the Daily Mail), it seems like Chelsea are considering the possibility of offering him an assistant role in Antonio Conte's staff as Pirlo himself refused to deny this possibility.

If Pirlo is to arrive in London, then this might convince Antonio Conte to stay at the club as there have been numerous reports hinting that the Italian coach might soon be looking for a new adventure. Let's not forget that Conte and Pirlo worked together at Juventus as it was Conte and Marotta who acquired him as a free-agent from AC Milan.
