Italy coach Antonio Conte says there's too much politics in local football.

Conte is preparing the Azzurri for their latest round of Euro qualifiers.

“After the games with Malta and then Bulgaria on Sunday, we'll have a clearer idea of how close we are to qualification. I want to point out nobody in the group is qualified yet.

“In Italy we complain about all the issues and the problems, but then if the Nazionale doesn't win, it's considered a failure regardless. I know that.

“Being a national team Coach is different to club level. I try to put my experience to the service of the club, trying to improve myself all the time too.

“My future? Let's concentrate on the present, there's still time to talk about my future."
