7.07.2012

President of the Italian Football Federation Giancarlo Abete revealed that Cesare Prandelli will remain coach of Italy, whether "Azzurri" fail to qualify for the knockout phase of Euro 2012.

"Whatever be the final result, Prandelli and the federation will continue their relationship for the next two years," he said. "We do not make assumptions (for failure), even if it happens, because we will talk about this for weeks. But we will do this only if a negative development. The team is there, the concentration is there - we deserve to go. "

According Abete, the Italians will think only of their match against Ireland, and not on what happens between Spain and Croatia.

"I feel that all of us are focused on the outcome of the match Italy - Ireland. We think only of ourselves. We score hard, but I saw a strong Italy at the start of the two matches so far, "added Abete.
