Conte slams claims he knew about match-fixing

"I don't have much to say. I've read that there's an investigation, I'm very calm and I have faith in the institutions, who are just trying to do their jobs," he told a news conference on Saturday ahead of Juve's clash with AS Roma on Sunday.

"No-one has called me, but when and if they do, it will be my pleasure to see them and answer their questions.

"If anyone is looking to destabilise us, they'll find it hard to do. It will only make us more determined."

Several Italian newspapers - including the Gazzetta Dello Sport and La Repubblica - reported on Saturday that Conte knew about the alleged rigging of last season's Serie B match between Novara and Siena, which finished 2-2.

Conte is not under investigation but several Siena matches that took place during his reign are part of a wide-ranging probe across the leagues into Italy's latest football corruption scandal.
