Juventus manager, Andrea Pirlo, has said he will not resign following a 3-0 defeat to AC Milan on Sunday.

The heavy loss came one week after Juve relinquished their Serie A crown for the first time after nine successive titles.

Speaking to Sky Sports after the match, Pirlo said: “Resign? No, I won’t step aside.

“I took this role with a great deal of enthusiasm amid certain difficulties. I am at the disposal of the club, there are still three games to go, so I will continue doing my work as long as I am allowed to.

“I had a different project in my mind and thought I would have a different group at my disposal. I had been working on some concepts, but then I had to make changes in order to suit their characteristics and had to adapt.”
