Match-fixing trial not expected to affect new Chelsea manager’s arrival

The Italian prosecutor has reportedly stated he'd be seeking a 6-month suspended prison sentence.

Antonio Conte's ongoing legal case in Italy is not expected to impact on him taking up the manager's job at Chelsea ahead of next season, it is understood.

Chelsea announced on Monday that Conte will take charge at Stamford Bridge on a three-year deal after coaching Italy at Euro 2016 this summer.
