Juve ponder Ranieri position
Monday 18 May, 2009

Juventus Coach Claudio Ranieri could be fired today as the club's directors are again meeting to discuss his future.

Despite some promising periods, the Old Lady failed to deliver any silverware this term and could even finish fourth after Fiorentina caught them in the table.

Ranieri has been under pressure for weeks but seemed to have helped his cause with a battling draw against Milan.

However, last weekend's 2-2 draw against Atalanta, during which the Orobici struck the woodwork three times, has reignited the debate over the Roman tactician's future.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juve President Giovanni Cobolli Gigli has called another crisis meeting and youth boss Ciro Ferrara could be handed the caretaker role with Ranieri axed immediately.

The Bianconeri are expected to go into a pre-game camp for the Siena clash, but they may find themselves under new management.

Ranieri: We can't carry on like this
Claudio Ranieri confirms Juventus “can't carry on like this and have to wake up,” but claims he is “99 per cent” sure of keeping his job next season. More
