Antonio Conte's last competitive date at Rome's Olympic Stadium was a night of great personal satisfaction as his Italy team completed an unbeaten qualifying campaign for Euro 2016 by coming from behind to win against Norway.

An impromptu meeting of the board after the defeat against Saints went on until midnight and effectively marked the beginning of the end for Jose Mourinho and the start of another search for another manager.
Two years is an eternity at Stamford Bridge and Conte arrived back in the Italian capital with doubts swirling about his own long-term future.
