Pirlo makes final case to stay at Juventus, says he's helped put them 'on the right path'

The first-year boss argued he deserves more time in Turin after the club qualified for the Champions League on the last day of the Serie A season

Andrea Pirlo has made one last public case to Juventus upper management that he should be retained for next season, claiming he has put the club "on the right path" during his first year in charge.

His men capped a positive week on Sunday by earning a Champions League berth through a 4-1 victory over Bologna and a Napoli draw. They also won the Coppa Italia last Wednesday.

However, Pirlo's defence of his record may be undercut by an early European exit to Porto and lack of a Serie A title charge.
