Before taking the Madrid job, Zinedine Zidane had:
-Worked as Florentino’s advisor and learned under Mourinho
-Worked as sporting director and discovered Varane
-Worked as Ancelotti’s assistant
-Coached RM Castilla
Pirlo took a few UEFA classes before taking the Juve job.

Zidane and Guardiola have been Juve’s two main targets for the coaching job for a while.
It seems Juve want to wait for Guardiola’s contract at City to expire before making a move, whilst giving Pirlo a chance to prove himself for 1-2 seasons and perhaps become the next Zidane.

A lot of people seem to think Zidane just took the first chance he got at managing and became a natural, like Forrest Gump and college football. It couldn’t be further from the truth.
Zidane had a carefully plotted post-playing path before taking the biggest job in Europe.

It makes sense to have a transitional manager in between Sarri and Guardiola. It makes sense to not risk spending loads on players who might not be needed (Jorginho) for the next cycle.
But I can’t help but think this is extremely risky within 10 Scudetti in a row on the line.
