Ferrara holds on to Juventus job - for now

Juventus coach Ciro Ferrara has retained his job after a two-hour emergency team meeting with club officials, but could be at risk if the Turin power fails to eliminate Napoli in the Italian Cup on Wednesday.

Juventus president Jean-Claude Blanc and fellow management members Roberto Bettega and Alessio Secco addressed the underperforming squad on Tuesday.

A 3-0 home loss to AC Milan at the weekend prompted fans to light seats on fire inside the Stadio Olimpico.

The Gazzetta dello Sport quoted Ferrara as saying after the meeting that "the destiny of every coach is linked to results. So if the results are not there the club will take action."

Guus Hiddink and Dino Zoff have been mentioned as possible replacements for Ferrara.
