The Azzurri were criticised after a slender 1-0 victory over Malta on Thursday.

“The results are what count and the facts are we’re on the verge of qualification. It’s easy to say we need to win while playing great football, but if we had lost playing well then it would’ve been worse.

“Will Conte stay until 2018? I hope he will, but there will be offers.”
