Petition to keep Allegri at Juventus – from Torino fans

Italian comedy programme Le Iene is helping Torino fans gather signatures outside the Derby della Mole to keep Max Allegri in the Juventus job.

It kicks off at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino at 17.00 UK time (16.00 GMT).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from this game, Empoli-Monza and Atalanta-Sassuolo on the LIVEBLOG.

This is traditionally a rather one-sided derby, with Torino not winning since a 2-1 result in April 2015.

They’ve managed only four draws in the last 16 meetings with Juventus, between Serie A and the Coppa Italia.

However, things have changed this season with a dismal Bianconeri start, so much that if Torino win today, they will leapfrog their neighbours in the Serie A table.

With that in mind, Juve fans are protesting against the players, President Andrea Agnelli and above all coach Allegri.

Italian comedy show Le Iene decided to join in by helping garner support for the beleaguered tactician, gathering signatures on a petition demanding that Allegri remain as coach of Juventus. They realised the best place to get those signatures was amongst Torino fans outside the stadium, who are thoroughly enjoying the current results of their more prestigious rivals.

They are countering the #AllegriOut hashtag with #AllegriResta – Allegri Stay.
