There are reports that Juventus are ready to axe Coach Claudio Ranieri before the end of the season and hand the reins to Ciro Ferrara.
Ranieri's future in Turin looks increasingly uncertain after a 2-2 draw with Lecce angered fans and left the Bianconeri highly unlikely to secure second place.
The club are expected to make a series of transfer swoops in the summer, but that may not be soon enough.
Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport claims that Juve are ready to wield the axe for the first time in 40 years to dismiss Ranieri.
Since the sacking of Argentine tactician Luis Carniglia in 1969, the Juventus board has shown great patience towards its Coaches.
But reports suggest that the dressing room is in chaos and that key men such as Gigi Buffon are livid with the state of affairs.
Tuttosport suggests that Juve youth academy chief Ciro Ferrara, who is also an assistant to Azzurri boss Marcello Lippi, could be made caretaker Coach for the final four games.
The 42-year-old is highly popular with the fans in Turin and could get the supporters back behind their side.
In the longer term, Bari boss Antonio Conte is being widely tipped to take over.
