The 46-year old was accused of failing to report a fixed second division game when he was manager of Siena.

In 2012 the Italian FA handed Conte a 10-month ban – later reduced to four – in connection with the case whilst he was boss of Juventus – but this latest ruling means he will now arrive at Stamford bridge with a clean reputation.
