Last week we reported that Conor O'Shea had rejected the Italy job, with O'Shea affirming his commitment to Harlequins.
If reports today in Midi Olympique are to believed, it appears Italy have refused to take no for an answer. Gavin Mortimer has reported that the Italians have revisited the prospect of O'Shea taking charge:
So all set for another Racing victory? By the way, didn't have time to mention it this morning but @midi_olympique says that Italy met...2/2

...Conor O'Shea twice last week to discuss becoming coach & the belief he'll accept "grow a little bit more each day".

And apparently to help sway O'Shea, Italy have also sounded out O'Gara about becoming his assistant
