Juventus coach Conte shrugs off match-fixing reports

Juventus coach Antonio Conte has shrugged some controversy in the last week.

Conte was in the headlines this week when reports emerged of his name being mentioned in the match-fixing investigation into his time at Siena.

"I read about that, but there is an investigation and I have faith in the authorities. Nobody has called me to testify, but if that happens then I will be happy to respond to all questions.

"Is it an attempt to destabilise Juve? If they try that, then they'll find a brick wall. In fact, it would only increase our hunger and determination, trebling our desire to achieve something extraordinary.

"It is a dream to be six rounds from the end of the season with the Scudetto and Coppa Italia within our grasp."
