Rumours in a host of Italian newspapers suggest that Juventus manager was aware of the match-fixing during his time at Siena.
Several media sources in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 have reported Filippo Carobbio’s allegations that the Bianconeri manager was aware of the match-fixing during his stint with Siena, but the tactician has denied the claim.
The midfielder was a member of the Robur squad led by Antonio Conte, and is among the several individuals facing investigation from the prosecutors, following the betting match-fixing probe.
Details of Carobbio’s unproven allegations were published all over the Italian print media, and are a matter of frenzy all around.
The midfielder has suggested that Conte knew of the attempt to fix the result of the two games, one against Novara and the other against Albinoleffe in Serie B.
These allegations on the Old Lady chief are not new, but the fact that they have resurfaced just before the Coppa Italia final between Juventus and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003, has elevated their significance.
Antonio Conte denied allegations of any wrongdoing back in April, and appeared undisturbed about Carobbio’s statement.
The Juventus chief stated that he is aware of the claims, and the investigation that is going on about the matter. The tactician maintained that he fully trusts the institutions, and understands that the investigators are just
people trying to do their http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684.
The former Siena manager stated that he has not much to say, and insisted that he is not disturbed by the allegations.
Conte went on to state that he has not been contacted by the investigators, but insisted that if he were to receive such a call, he would be glad to answer all questions from them.
The Old Lady boss also assured that if someone is trying to put him off his focus ahead of the Coppa Italia final, he will only end up filling him with even more determination.
Anyone found guilty of match-fixing in the probe could end up facing a ban from the sport, possibly for life, while the culpable clubs could be relegated or face points deduction.
However, Juventus are out of the danger as the probe is based on matches in Serie B.
