In June last year, Pirlo signed a one-year deal to take charge of Karagumruk, who had just finished eighth the previous season.

But with the Turkish top-flight season almost over, Pirlo has been jettisoned from the manager’s position, with the club sitting in ninth spot.

In a club statement on Twitter, Fatih Karagumruk said: ‘Since we can’t continue with Mr. Andrea Pirlo and his staff next season, we gave them permission to leave soon hoping it will give them a chance to plan their future.

‘We will also use the remaining time in the most effective way to first win all of our games and then plan our future accordingly.

‘We are very happy to have spent one season with Andrea and thank him for his contributions to our club. We wish him the best in his future!’
