UEFA’s Control and Disciplinary Board cleared two other players as the governing body didn’t have enough evidence to convict either of Kenneth Scicluna and Stephen Wellman.
Juventus boss Antonio Conte has appeared in court to appeal against a 10-month ban for failing to report fixing. Conte, and his assistant Angelo Alessio, appeared with the backing of their club and are looking to be fully acquitted of the charges. The two were given bans by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) after failing to report two incidents that took place whilst they were in charge of Siena. The charges first came to light after Filippo Carobbio, who played under Conte at Siena, accused his former boss of not reporting the fixing. Prosecutors support Carobbio’s comments and it therefore seems unlikely that Conte’s appeal will be successful. Results are expected on Wednesday.
