Serie A
The match with Napoli, crucial for Pirlo’s future
There are growing reports that Juventus will sack Andrea Pirlo if the Bianconeri lose against Napoli on Wednesday.
Bianconeri and Azzurri play the remaining match from the third week.
The game was rescheduled after Napoli failed to travel to Turin in October.
They were initially given a 3-0 loss and penalized with one point, but then it was decided to reschedule the match.
According to Il Corriere della Sera, the game could be crucial for Pirlo’s future. The “Old Lady” may decide to fire their coach if they lose against Gennaro Gattuso’s team.
Juventus is fourth in the Serie A table, at the same level of points as Napoli in fifth place.
Pirlo will surely face dismissal in case of loss against Napoli.
His assistant Igor Tudor could replace him as interim coach until the end of the season, even if former Juventus coach Max Allegri remains in the squad.
Allegri reportedly met with Juventus boss Andrea Agnelli at the Forte dei Marmi at the weekend.
