Juventus coach Antonio Conte is set to miss the whole of the Serie A season with the defending Italian champions after losing his appeal against a 10-month ban over a match-fixing scandal on Wednesday.

 

Conte, who led an undefeated Juventus to the Italian title in his first season in charge last term, was banned on August 10 for failing to report two incidents of match-fixing in the 2010-11 season when he was coach of then Serie B side Siena.
