Juven boss Antonio Conte has got a 10-month ban while Lecce and Grosseto have been demoted from Serie B after the match-fixing inquiry.

The coach of the reigning Serie A champions was accused by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) of failing to report alleged match-fixing involving Siena when he was in charge of them in 2010-11 season in Serie B. Lecce and Grosseto were found guilty of direct involvement in match-fixing following the inquiry and the duo have been relegated to Lega Pro for the upcoming season. Former Lecce president Giovanni Semeraro and former Grosseto president Piero Camilli have both also been handed five-year bans for their part in the Italian match-fixing scandal. Conte's assistant Angelo Alessio, who moved with him from Siena to Juventus, has also been banned for eight months while former Bari defender Nicola Belmonte faces a six-month suspension. However, six other players - Leonardo Bonucci, Simone Pepe, Marco di Vaio, Salvatore Masiello, Daniele Padelli and Giuseppe Vives - have all been acquitted of the charges against them.
