AFP, ROME: An Italian court on Tuesday called for new Chelsea manager Antonio Conte to receive a six-month suspended prison sentence over match-fixing allegations.
The current Italy manager, who will take over Chelsea after Euro 2016, is accused of sporting fraud.
The 'Calcioscommesse' corruption probe says the 46-year-old former Juventus boss failed to expose an alleged rigged second division match in May 2011.
The game involved Siena, which Conte managed at that time.
Conte, who denies any wrongdoing, was also ordered to pay an 8,000 euros ($9000) fine, by Italian public prosecutor Roberto Di Martino.
The May 29 2011 game suspected of being fixed for betting purposes ended with a 1-0 away win for Conte's side at AlbinoLeffe.
