Juventus patron John Elkann is happy for Antonio Conte over his appointment of Italy coach.

Conte left Juve last month before landing the Azzurri job.

Elkann said: "I sent a personal message to Conte. It will be a great challenge for him and we hope he'll be as successful as always.

"Juventus will provide the spine of the Nazionale and there's everything needed to do well."
