ROME: An Italian court on Tuesday called for new Chelsea coach 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.

Juve honour on line at Chelsea for no-nonsense Conte
