Andrea Pirlo hopeful of Antonio Conte stay

Juventus midfielder Andrea Pirlo has hailed manager Antonio Conte and is hopeful that he will remain at the club following their record-breaking Serie A title win.

Conte's side broke the 100-point mark following their 3-0 win over Cagliari on the final day of the campaign.

The club's supporters let their feelings known to the manager by waving banners asking the 44-year-old to stay.

Pirlo told Sky Sport Italia: "It was a lovely show of affection from the crowd towards Conte and we hope it can all be resolved over the next few days.

"Much of the credit for these trophies goes to Conte, as he picked up a team fresh from finishing seventh twice and won three Scudetti in a row."

Juventus finished the season with 102 points, 17 points ahead of second-placed Roma.
