Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo says he won't resign after their 3-0 thumping by AC Milan.

The result was a blow to Juve's top four hopes.

“I said yesterday that the team looked good during the week, we trained with the right mentality and concentration. The team was alive and convinced it could put in a great performance," Pirlo told Sky Italia.

“Instead that was not the case. We had actually started fairly well, but we lost our way and this was the final result. It's difficult to explain now. There were many components that didn't work. When you lose such an important game 3-0 it means many things didn't work, but I need to evaluate it and then talk it over with the lads with a calm head."

Pirlo was asked if he was ready to step aside or thinks he might be sacked?

“No, I won't step aside. I took this role with a great deal of enthusiasm amid certain difficulties. I am at the disposal of the club, there are still three games to go, so I will continue doing my work as long as I am allowed to."
