Trapattoni says he will not resign

Giovanni Trapattoni says he will not resign, despite Italy's World Cup exit against South Korea.

The veteran Italy coach blamed bad refereeing decisions for Italy's stunning 2-1 defeat.

He also felt that Francesco Totti should not have been sent off in extra-time.

Trapattoni said: "I know that 20 million Italians watched this match - I know what 20 million Italians think."

Asked if he had any intention of quitting the job, 63-year-old Trapattoni added: "I have signed a contract, so it's not up to me.

"I feel full of enthusiasm. I'm already thinking about the European Championships."
