The Bianconeri coach has struggled in his first season at the Allianz Stadium and the issues continued in a 1-1 draw with Fiorentina last weekend.
His son has now revealed he’s the recipient of unpleasant messages from alleged Juventus fans.
“There’s a limit to everything and this limit has been exceeded for some time now,” Nicolò Pirlo wrote on Instagram, according to Sky Sport Italia journalist Gianluca Di Marzio.
“Everyone has the power to say what he wants, but in this case my fault would be to be the son of a coach who, as it should be, someone doesn’t like.
“Put yourself in my shoes, how would you feel?”
The son attached a screenshot of one of the numerous messages received in the last hours, saying: “You must die with your father.”
Lapo Elkann then showed support with Andrea Pirlo and his son Nicolò after the terrible messages received by the latter.
“Andrea Pirlo, I’m with you,” Lapo tweeted. “One never touches the family.”
