    (ANSA) Rome, August 19 - Former Juventus coach Antonio Conte has signed a double contract as Italy's new national coach guaranteeing him as much as 4.5 million euros a year if Italy qualifies for Euro 2016, the Italian soccer federation said Tuesday.
    Under the first contract Conte's basic stipend will be 2 million euro net a year, with an extra half million for two years if Italy qualifies for the finals in France in two years' time.
    Under a second contract the FIGC will pay Conte 2 million euros guaranteed by the sponsor Puma sportswear in return for sales of TV images of himself. The deal follows a parallel agreement under which Puma's contract as sponsor of the Italian national team is extended from 2018 to 2022, the FIGC said.
