Former Juventus president Giovanni Cobolli Gigli wants Gigi Buffon to be handed a front office role when he hangs up the gloves.

Cobolli Gigli also says he'd like to see sporting director Fabio Paratici axed.

He told TMW: "As a fan and small shareholder of Juventus, with whom I no longer have relations, I say that I believe that Andrea Agnelli must go on making decisions. My hope is to see Buffon in (Pavel) Nedved's place and I don't know who in Paratici's place.

"I am critical, and I always have been. Also for how he tried to put (Paulo) Dybala on the market two years ago. I also see Nedved lost in that position ... And the operation carried out by Paratici and Nedved to convince Agnelli in bringing (Maurizio) Sarri for the good game is an operation that in my mind has marked these two as people who should no longer be in Juventus."
