Conte banned for 10 months

Juventus coach Antonio Conte has been banned for 10 months by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) in relation to a match-fixing investigation. The coach of the reigning Serie A champions had been accused of failing to report alleged match-fixing involving Siena when he managed them in the 2010/11 Serie B season. Conte had a plea bargain deal rejected by the FIGC earlier this month. Grosseto and Lecce have both been excluded from Serie B, the Italian second tier, for the 2012/13 season for their part in the scandal, with both clubs' former presidents banned for five years.
