Italy coach Cesare Prandelli refused to comment on his job future amid resignation talk.

It's claimed Prandelli will walk away from the job after the World Cup.

"I was amazed with the amount of rumours about my successor," he told reporters. "But I have not decided about my future - and I say that sincerely.

"I will think about it in due course, but for the moment, we face a difficult challenge to qualify."
