Juventus GM Jean-Claude Blanc says coach Claudio Ranieri's job is safe - for the next four games.

Blanc said: "The figures in a club are tied to the results on the field. Today's message is we are all on the same boat. As directors we are capable of making decisions and right now the decision is to all work together on our path for the final weeks of the season.

"What is happening to Juve? It's a difficult moment in sport and the fact we have not won in 45 days is weighing on us," Blanc told Sky Sport Italia.

"It was right to talk to the whole team and the staff, sharing what needs to be done an the objectives we must achieve. We came together and are united.

"In October we went through a similar period, so we will take the same steps and try to emerge from this crisis the way we did back then."
