Antonio Conte ItalyItalian national team coach Antonio Conte could hand in his resignation in the coming days.

The former Juventus boss has suffered heavy criticism for recent squad inclusions and exclusions.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Azzurri coach could table his resignation in light of recent events.

Italy will now host England at the Juventus Stadium where Conte will be expecting a mixed reception.

The controversy surrounding the injury of Claudio Marchisio, in which the player was ruled out for six months by Italian team doctors who thought he has ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament, but it was later found by Juventus there was no rupturing and the player could be back within a week,  could also force the Italian to move on.

Conte will likely return to coaching at club level with AC Milan reportedly keen on his services.

Alberto Zaccheroni has emerged as a potential replacement for Conte at the helm for Italy.
