Antonio Conte will reject an opportunity to manage the Italian national team.

Conte's future with Chelsea remains uncertain.

"My intention, my will, my desire is to respect this contract. So no, I must be honest, no [plans to speak with him].

“From the start of this season there have been a lot of speculation and rumours around me. The only thing I can tell you is I still have 18 months of contract with Chelsea and my desire is to stay here, continue my work. This is my will. I don’t see problems about this. We signed a three-year contract, and our desire is to continue and to respect the contract.

“But from the start of the season, after our defeat against Burnley, there was a lot of speculation about me being sacked. I’m not interested in this. My only desire is to work and try and do my best for this team. We know very well the difficulty we are in and may have in the future. But we must be prepared.”
