Maurizio Sarri facing battle to keep Juventus job?

Maurizio Sarri is reportedly facing a fight to keep hold of his job at Juventus.

On Wednesday night, the Italian giants suffered a penalty-shootout defeat to Napoli in the Coppa Italia final, denying Sarri his first trophy at the Turin-based outfit.

Although Juventus currently sit at the top of the Serie A table by one point, it appears that the former Chelsea man is at risk of losing his role in the dugout.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, a number of players in the first-team squad have lost faith in the 61-year-old.

The report suggests that Sarri will only remain in his position if Juventus convincingly retain Italy's top-flight crown or win the Champions League.

Sarri has won 27 of his 39 games in charge in all competitions, losing just five times.
