Luigi Del Neri has received a vote of confidence from the Juventus board as scrutiny builds over his position as manager.
Juve suffered their third Serie A defeat in a row on Saturday as they lost 1-0 at home to leaders AC Milan.
The result left the Bianconeri seventh in the standings and further damaged their chances of securing European qualification.
Del Neri only took charge at the start of the season after quitting Sampdoria and speculation has been mounting that his days in the job could be numbered.
However, sporting director Giuseppe Marotta believes the criticism of Del Neri has been harsh and would like to give him more time.
"The responsibility has to be shared between everyone and it's not fair to put all the blame on the manager. We'll go on trying to work harder," Marotta told the club's official website.
Reflecting on the defeat to Milan, Marotta continued: "Milan created their goal in the second half and two dangerous attempts in the first half.
"It was an ugly game, where little difference was noticed, even if Milan are stronger than us.
"As compared to Lecce and Bologna, our players gave more.
"Obviously, in such a moment, we're worried but that can become fear which panics players when they're on the ball."
