Sunday's 3-0 home defeat by AC Milan left Juve fifth in Serie A with three games of the campaign remaining. In the aftermath of the Milan defeat, Pirlo, 41, said he would not quit. Juventus are a point adrift of fourth-placed Napoli, with Atalanta and AC Milan - the two teams above them - two points further away. Pirlo's side were knocked out of the Champions League at the last-16 stage by Porto, but have the chance to win a trophy when they face Atalanta in the Coppa Italia final later this month.
