Serie A: Andrea Pirlo confident of staying on after Juventus seal Champions League spot

Juventus sealed a spot in the Champions League for the next season on the final matchday of Serie A with a 4-1 win over Bologna. Andre Pirlo's future was in doubt but the Italian great is confident of continuing as the head coach.

Juventus manager Andrre Pirlo is confident of staying on as the boss next season after Juventus completed a late comeback to seal a Champions League spot. Juventus defeated Bologna 4-1 in their final Serie A game to finish in the top 4 with 78 points, one more than Napoli. Serie A top scorer Cristiano Ronaldo was surprisingly left on the bench for the crucial game, but Juve made a fast start in his absence as Federico Chiesa put them in front after five minutes. Alvaro Morata and Adrien Rabiot struck before halftime to put the result beyond doubt and Morata doubled his tally early in the second half before Riccardo Orsolini pulled one back late on.
