Signori football ban overturned after trial clears him of match-fixing
Former striker can now work in football after being cleared by Italy's criminal courts
Former Italy striker Giuseppe Signori had his ban from football overturned by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) on Tuesday after he was cleared of any involvement in a match-fixing scandal.
FIGC President Gabriele Gravina signed a document allowing Signori, 54, to work in football again after he was cleared in Italy's criminal courts.
The former Lazio and Bologna forward was banned from football-related activity for five years in 2011 as part of an investigation into a match-fixing scandal, but was acquitted in February.
Signori won the Serie A top scorer award three times in the 1990s and was part of the Italy side that finished as runners-up at the 1994 World Cup. He retired in 2004.
