Italy fans on Twitter call for Conte to return
Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is a man in demand – from Italy supporters on Twitter fuming a their country’s failure to qualify for next summer’s World Cup.
A play-off loss to Sweden means the Azzuri will miss the tournament for the first time since 1958, and manager Gian Piero Ventura’s position is expected to come under scrutiny.
Conte led Italy to the quarter-finals of Euro 2016 and some fans want him back in charge.
RT if you want Antonio Conte back as Italy’s coach. Conte ignited his players. Conte made you believe. Conte brought energy. Conte brought passion. Conte got every last ounce out of his players. Conte had fans willing to run through a wall for him.

Ventura is the worst Italian coach I have ever seen in my life, an absolute disgrace to the national team. Bring back Conte

I am utterly ashamed of the coaching by Ventura. He had the talent and did not know how to use it. Bring back Conte!!!

I didn’t think I’d ever seen a worldcup without Italy. Conte’s the man for the job

Even a few Chelsea fans were a little concerned that the Italian football chiefs may approach Conte.
What I don’t like about Italy missing the world cup is that they will probably start texting and checking up on Conte

#cfc if Italy don’t get through tonight I hope the federation doesn’t come knocking on Roman’s door asking about Conte.

How dearly did Italy missed Antonia Conte. It would be the same at Chelsea if Conte goes. Never underestimate The Don.
