Juventus coach Claudio Ranieri is adamant the dressing room supports him.

"I'm not worried about the dressing room," Ranieri claimed. "I can assure you that I have 100 per cent support and nobody is causing rows with me.

"I have a certain level of experience and the only thing that is worrying me is the number of injuries and players away on international duty.

"We had a good pre-season and the newcomers immediately settled in well - I'm very satisfied with their efforts.

"At the start of the campaign I saw a good and convincing Juve. Then after a bit we looked less secure in our management of the ball.

"We need to find our character that allowed us to get out of Serie B and I just ask the players to stick with this project, which is based on the development of youth."
