FIGC President Carlo Tavecchio trusts Antonio Conte will stay with Italy, “but if he doesn’t then we’ll find another Coach.”

The Azzurri tactician is only contracted until Euro 2016 and has refused to comment on whether he’ll extend that deal after the tournament.

“I am certain Conte will renew the contract, as he is like a son to me,” Tavecchio told Rai Sport.

“But if he does decide to leave, then as the saying goes ‘One Pope dies, elect a new Pope.’
