Claudio Ranieri insists he will still be the Nantes head coach next season, despite speculation linking him with the vacant Italy job.
Former Leicester City boss Ranieri is reportedly among the candidates for the Azzurri, who sacked Gian Piero Ventura after they failed to reach the World Cup, with interest in Antonio Conte, Carlo Ancelotti and Roberto Mancini also mooted.
And the Premier League title-winner had previously suggested he would ask to leave Nantes if Italy came calling, but now says he will stay in Ligue 1 for another year.
"I'm under contract with Nantes," he told Canal+ after a 2-1 defeat to Monaco.
