Juventus chiefs have reportedly run out of patience with Andrea Pirlo and have given the rookie head coach one game to save his job.

The Bianconeri have endured a disastrous first campaign under the iconic midfielder, who had never previously coached at any level.

Juve exited the Champions League to Porto at the last-16 stage earlier this month and are 10 points adrift of leaders Inter Milan in the Serie A standings.

Sunday's shock 1-0 loss at home to lowly Benevento effectively killed off Juve's title hopes for good, bringing an end to their decade-long dominance.

According to Tuttosport, Pirlo could be out of a job in the next fortnight as anything less than victory against rivals Torino will see him sacked.

The trip to the Stadio Olimpico is on April 3 and is closely followed by a home match against Napoli.
