SOFIA (Reuters) - Under-fire Italy coach Antonio Conte urged his critics to bury the hatchet and leave him to get on with his job following his side's Euro 2016 qualifying 2-2 draw with Bulgaria on Saturday.

Conte, who has been criticised following the injury to Juventus midfielder Claudio Marchisio, has also been attacked by John Elkann, the head of the holding company which controls FIAT and Juventus, who said the Italy coach worked the players too hard during the national team's training camps.
