Antonio Conte is focused on delivering European Championship glory for Italy, despite confirming on Tuesday he would be leaving his role as coach after the tournament.
Conte has opted to quit international management in favour of the day-to-day involvement of club football and is widely expected to join Chelsea to replace interim boss Guus Hiddink.
He told his official Facebook page: "Right now, our concentration is addressed solely on the European Championship where we will try to make the most of our potential with hard work and sacrifice.
"Those who know me know that my commitment is total. Then I feel I must go back to coaching at a club where I have the opportunity to train every day.
"I would like to thank [FIGC] president Carlo Tavecchio for accompanying me on this wonderful adventure."
"Conte wants the lure of the coaching field, training every day and this is understandable," he said.
"We will do our evaluation [regarding a successor] with calmness. Now is the time to take note of the decision of a person who has always worked with commitment, sacrifice and awareness of the image of the national team. I will always be grateful for that."
