| Antonio Conte |
Antonio Conte Juventus manager has been banned by an Italian sport tribunal for 10 months on Friday for failing to report match fixing in a sports betting scandal that has rocked Italian football, the national football federation said.
Prosecutors said an international gambling ring paid players to throw matches deliberately in a sports betting scandal that echoes intrigues that soured the image of Italian soccer in the 1980s.
Conte, led Juventus to the Serie A title last season, was disciplined for two Siena matches in May of 2011, when he was coach of the Serie B team.
The club's defender Leonardo Bonucci and right wing Simone Pepe have been cleared by the tribunal of involvement in the scandal.
