Italy CT and future Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has been acquitted from charges of sporting fraud.

The former Juventus Coach was accused of failing to report a fix while in charge of Siena, which he has always denied.

The Cremona prosecutor asked for a six-month suspended sentence, but Gazzetta dello Sport has reported that Conte has been acquitted today by judge Pierpaolo Beluzzi.

The Azzurri boss had opted for a fast-track trial to resolve the accusations that he had failed to report a fixed result against Albinoleffe on 29 May 2011.
