Juventus chief Giovanni Cobolli Gigli insists that Claudio Ranieri's job is safe in spite of a recent slump.
The Old Lady have suffered costly defeats against Udinese and Cagliari and have fallen behind Milan.
There have been suggestions in the media that Ranieri's time may be up with Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez linked with the post, but Cobolli Gigli has rubbished such talk.
“Ranieri will still be Juventus Coach next year - there is no doubt about it,” he told the Corriere dello Sport.
“Claudio has three seasons left on his contract and we are in the habit of respecting our tacticians' deals.
“I can't see any reason why Ranieri shouldn't be with us going into 2010-11.”
Cobolli Gigli also discussed the transfer market and the possibility of bringing in Werder Bremen midfielder Diego.
“I cannot say that Diego is our primary objective and I cannot confirm that he will come to us,” he said.
“We will have to see what happens in June when we look at things more seriously.”
