Juventus' looming Champions League games will decide the future of coach Claudio Ranieri.

Defeat to Palermo yesterday won't force Juve's board into action, but Tuttosport says should European blockbusters against Real Madrid end their Champions League campaign, Ranieri will be immediately dismissed.

Juve already have a shortlist of available coaches, with Ciro Ferrara and Gianluca Vialli headlining - also in the frame are Roberto Donadoni and Frank Rijkaard.
