Italy manager Antonio Conte to step down after Euro 2016

Antonio Conte will step down from his position as manager of Italy following Euro 2016, the BBC reports.

Conte has been heavily linked with the managerial vacancy at Chelsea and this move increases the prospect of him taking over at Stamford Bridge.

The 46-year-old was appointed Italy manager in August 2014 shortly afterresigning as coach of Juventus.

“He feels the need for the pitch, the everyday training,” said Italian FA president Carlo Tavecchio.

Conte led the Turin club to three successive Serie A titles prior to taking on the national job.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
