Italy in contact with Arsenal boss Wenger; Conte won't rule out return

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is considering a return to the Italy job, it has been revealed.

Corriere dello Sport says Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has also been contacted, while free agent Carlo Ancelotti has turned down an approach from FIGC.

It's suggested Conte has not rejected the prospect of taking the job a second time as he considers his future with Chelsea.

Before victory at West Brom yesterday, Conte said: "Not going to the World Cup is a disaster, everyone knows very well how important football is in Italy, but it happened and the Federation must find the right solution to improve this situation, I think it is very difficult to talk about an arrival at this moment, there are many rumors, but I think the Federation should take the time necessary to find a suitable solution for Italian football."
