In the meantime, more huge banners were pinned up outside the gates aiming insults at the players and coach Thiago Motta.

“Seeking men worthy of this jersey. Until then, you should play in yellow,” read one.

“You are all passing through. We are the history of Calcio,” was another.

Juve have the opportunity with a victory against Verona to consolidate fourth place in Serie A and move to within just six points of leaders Inter.

However, they were eliminated from the Champions League play-offs by PSV Eindhoven, then on Wednesday crashed out of the Coppa Italia quarter-final to minnows Empoli on penalties.
