The new Chelsea manager was finally cleared of failing to report the illegal activity during his time as coach of Siena earlier this year.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Antonio Conte claims he risked his reputation by fighting charges of failing to report match-fixing during his time as coach of Siena.
The new Chelsea manager was accused of doing nothing to prevent games being fixed during the 2011-12 season, when he guided the newly promoted team to a 14th-place finish.
Conte was consequently handed a 10-month ban - later reduced to four months - by the Italian Football Federation in 2012 but was finally cleared of any wrongdoing in court shortly before Euro 2016.
