Pirlo facing Juventus axe if beaten by Napoli

Andrea Pirlo's future with Juventus is on the line this week.

Juve face Napoli on Wednesday night and Pirlo faces the sack should they lose, reports Corriere della Sera and Sportmediaset.

Juventus sit fourth in the Serie A table, level with Napoli.

It's suggested Pirlo will be replaced by assistant Igor Tudor should he be axed. Turdor would act as an interim coach until the end of the season.

Juve president Andrea Agnelli is said to have met with former Bianconeri coach Max Allegri over the weekend.
