JAKARTA - Andrea Pirlo is having a difficult first season as Juventus coach. But fortunately, he won't have to worry about money if his career in Turin doesn't last long.
Pirlo (41) and his team have struggled to keep pace with Inter Milan in the race for the Serie A title this season. Antonio Conte's men are currently 10 points clear at the top of the table.
The former Italy international needs to collect wins and hopes his Juve side can close the gap. However, he may not have too long to turn things around if the results don't improve sooner or later.
Nevertheless, if Pirlo's attempts to emulate his playing success in the managerial hot seat don't work out, at least he has a lucrative family business to rely on.
The Juve boss comes from a wealthy family, as his father Luigi founded a successful steel trading company in Brescia called Elg Steel in 1982.
It is believed that the company earns £ 60 million annually. And Pirlo, has a stake in it.
Luigi hoped his son would inherit the family business, but after joining the Brescia academy in 1994, it became clear that he would pursue a career in football, which Teller Report said did not match Pirlo Sr. at the time.
The steel business isn't Pirlo's only venture outside of football. The family also owns a vineyard, Pratum Coller, near Brescia in northern Italy.
The former midfielder devoted his efforts to a lifelong passion for wine and is known to be a connoisseur of wine. The vineyard produces about 15-20 thousand bottles per year.
"For now I'm only thinking about playing football for the next few years," he said in 2013.
"Then, I will definitely spend more time in the vineyard too."
