Cremona prosecutors have
requested that Italy coach Antonio Conte be handed a suspended
six-month jail term over allegations he is guilty of
match-fixing-related offences, ANSA sources said Tuesday.
Conte is accused of sporting fraud for allegedly knowing
of attempts to fix a match between his former club Siena and
AlbinoLeffe in Italy's second tier, Serie B, in 2011, but
failing to report them.
He denies any wrongdoing.
Conte, who is set to take over Chelsea after Euro 2016,
has requested a fast-track trial and a ruling is expected by the
middle of May.
Cremona prosecutors have also requested that Conte be
ordered to pay a fine of 8,000 euros.
