Igor Tudor continues to be linked with Andrea Pirlo's job at Juventus.

The former Juve defender is on Pirlo's backroom staff and it's suggested he will step in if the coach is sacked.

La Stampa says Pirlo could be sacked and replaced by Tudor before their game against Sassuolo.

The report says his fate has been sealed and if he isn't replaced before this campaign finishes, he would be sacked at the end of the season.

Unlike Pirlo, Tudor has past coaching experience with the likes of Udinese, Hajduk Split and Galatasaray.
