Conte referred over Italy betting scandal

In total, 13 clubs and 45 players and training staff have been referred to the Italian football federation's disciplinary commission over the match-fixing allegations, the Italian Football Federation said.

Conte, who led Juventus to the Serie A title last season, is accused of failing to report match-fixing in two games in the 2010/11 season when he was coach of the Serie B side Siena.

The "Calcioscommesse" scandal echoes earlier match-fixing scandals which tarnished the image of Italian football in the 1980s and before the 2006 World Cup.

Conte's hearing will begin on August 1 and is expected to last two days. Bonucci's hearing begins on August 3.
