Report: Match-fixing trial will not affect Antonio Conte's arrival at Chelsea

Antonio Conte's ongoing legal case in Italy will reportedly not affect his impending arrival as the manager of Chelsea.

It was confirmed yesterday that Conte would take over at Stamford Bridge after his time as Italy coach finishes at the end of Euro 2016.

The 46-year-old is one of several defendants in a match-fixing trial taking place in Cremona, relating to when he was in charge of Serie B side Siena in 2011. He denies any wrongdoing.

Prosecutors in the case are thought to be seeking a six-month prison sentence for Conte, but, according to PA, Chelsea are not concerned and are confident that Conte will be able to take up his post in July.
