Juventus president Andrea Agnelli insists they're not pushing Alessandro del Piero out the exit door.

Agnelli declared at the club's shareholders meeting yesterday that this would be Del Piero's last season at the club.

However, Tuttosport says Agnelli insists he wasn't ferrying Del Piero towards retirement.

"There's no case, my sentence was a tribute to his history with the Bianconeri," he said. "His future? We'll have time to talk."
