Juventus president Giovanni Cobolli Gigli has handed coach Claudio Ranieri a vote of confidence.

"We saw a great game against Milan last weekend and the team had obviously been well managed by Ranieri," he asserted.

"We have said that for now we just want to go forward to the end of the season and look for the nine points that could bring us second place.

"After that we will make our decisions. But in the long meeting that we had two days ago there was a substantial appreciation for the work that Ranieri has done this year."
