Juventus vice president Pavel Nedved insists Andrea Pirlo and Cristiano Ronaldo will stay at Juventus but throws Paulo Dybala's future into doubt.

The coach is under fire after a 1-0 defeat at home against Benevento. The Old Lady risk of missing out on their 10th Scudetto in a row being 10 points off leaders Inter.

"Pirlo is and will be the Juventus coach, that's 100 per cent sure," Nedved told DAZN.

Juventus vice president Pavel Nedved insists Andrea Pirlo and Cristiano Ronaldo will stay at Juventus but throws Paulo Dybala's future into doubt.

The coach is under fire after a 1-0 defeat at home against Benevento. The Old Lady risk of missing out on their 10th Scudetto in a row being 10 points off leaders Inter.

"Pirlo is and will be the Juventus coach, that's 100 per cent sure," Nedved told DAZN.

"We have begun a new project with him, knowing we would face difficulties. We wanted to do something more, but we could not manage to do so.

"We are calm, Pirlo has everything to become a great coach," he added.

Cristiano Ronaldo's future is also up in the air, with several reports in Spain claiming CR7 could return to Real Madrid at the end of the season.

"As far as I am concerned, Ronaldo won't leave. He has a contract until June 2022, and he will stay. We'll see what will happen afterwards.

"Cristiano Ronaldo pushed us towards the Olympus of football, both on technically and in terms of image.

"He scored more than 100 goals in 120 matches, and, besides, he dragged us into the Champions League.

"He's a simple guy, although he may not look like that from the outside. He is the prototype of a modern player who has achieved incredible targets with immense talent and a lot of work.

"We missed Dybala. I think he hasn't played more than 800 minutes with us this season.

"His presence would give us more options upfront. He has one year left in his contract and I have nothing to add to what Paratici and Agnelli already said. Juventus will evaluate every opportunity in the market."

In the second part of his interview, Nedved explained why Maurizio Sarri and Massimiliano Allegri left Juventus.
