Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini says players are hoping coach Antonio Conte signs a new contract.
Conte remains evasive over his future beyond the end of this season.
Chiellini said: "We know we have two important weekends coming up. But we've made an important step towards the title.
"We have a great advantage but we are aware that we can't be complacent.
"We try and take Conte on to the pitch with us. We all hope he stays with us. I can't see a future without him."
