Italy's football federation upheld a 10-month ban for Juventus coach Antonio Conte on Wednesday for failing to report suspicions of match-fixing at a previous club, Italian media reported.
 
The Serie A club trainer is one of the most high-profile figures caught up in a sweeping investigation that has shaken the Italian football world.
 
He was found guilty of not informing the authorities of possible corruption in two matches involving his former club Siena during the 2010-11 season.
