Make-or-break month for Ranieri
Claudio Ranieri is facing a do-or-die period on the Juventus bench as the media start to line up his potential successors.
The Old Lady have slumped in recent weeks and draws with Catania, Sampdoria and BATE Borisov were followed by a devastating defeat at the hands of Palermo.
Ranieri now has eight crucial games in Europe and at home in 30 days, including a derby against Torino, a crunch match with Roma and a Champions League double date with Real Madrid.
There are reports in the Italian Press that the Bianconeri directors have already drawn up a list of possible replacements for Ranieri.
Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez is believed to be first choice, along with Fiorentina's Cesare Prandelli.
But neither man would be easy to lure, so Roberto Donadoni and Frank Rijkaard are also said to be options.
One hypothesis is that Juve will turn to old boys Antonio Conte and Ciro Ferrara to take over on a temporary basis should their main targets remain elusive.
