Juventus legend Alessandro del Piero insists their title chances remain alive.

Juventus are now in seventh place, just two points off Milan and above all nine adrift of joint leaders Fiorentina and Inter Milan.

Del Piero said: “This up and down rollercoaster of emotions all depends on the results. It's true for Maurizio Sarri at Napoli, Max Allegri at Juventus and many other Coaches.

“Juve remain a very strong side, as proved by the fact they are doing decidedly well in the Champions League. They're less effective this season in Serie A and people act as if it's a tragic situation.

“They have the potential to get back into the Scudetto race with three or four consecutive victories. Allegri proved last season he is an excellent Coach, but players and tacticians can't necessarily be at their peak at every moment of the campaign."
