Juventus president Agnelli shocked so many club staff caught in betting probe

Juventus president Andrea Agnelli is shocked to see the club caught up in Italy's betting scandal.

Agnelli expressed "deep sadness" after Antonio Conte, Simone Pepe and Leonardo Bonucci were charged in the betting scandal.

"Today's events leave a deep sadness in all of us, mitigated by the knowledge that, as indicated by the leaders of Italian football, the sporting justice system will find clarity," said Juventus President Agnelli.

"On behalf of the club I confirm our full support for Antonio Conte, Angelo Alessio, Christian Stellini, Leonardo Bonucci and Simone Pepe."

Alessio and Stellini are members of Conte's management staff who were also with him at Siena.

"Juventus are a club floated on the stock exchange, but for those of us who dedicate our work and passion to the Bianconeri colours, it is more than that.

"In a team you help each other out and battle. Whether you win or lose, you are never left alone. I can assure everyone that will be the case this time too."
