Juventus have moved to officially deny reports that coach Claudio Ranieri will be leaving.

Reacting to speculation that they're in talks with Roma coach Luciano Spalletti, Juve released the following statement: "Any talk about Juventus being interested in Roma's Coach is completely without foundation.

"There have been no meetings and we have no intention of appointing Spalletti or any other Coach.

"As we have stated on several occasions we are behind Ranieri and that hasn't changed after the Lazio game."
