Antonio Conte’s lawyer insists he “absolutely wants to remain” as Italy Coach despite threats of a new betting scandal.

There were reports in today’s papers that Conte would break off his contract with the Azzurri if brought to trial over match-fixing allegations.

There is a new development in the scandal, as Brindisi director Vito Morisco confessed match-fixing a game with Pomigliano.

Today Brindisi technical director Morisco made the confession in an interview with investigators in Bari, having been arrested two days ago.

He said that one of the Pomigliano players proposed the deal, which then went through transfer consultant Savino Daleno.

“I have nothing to say, as I speak with actions and facts,” Lotito told ANSA news agency.

A new scandal erupted yesterday when it was revealed that over 50 personnel from clubs in the Lega Pro and Serie D had been charged with sporting fraud and criminal conspiracy, with some linked to mafia organisations.

“Unfortunately, I’ve seen to many generalised judgements,” Abodi told Sky.

Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi is ‘disgusted’ with the latest match-fixing scandal, while FIGC President Carlo Tavecchio demands monitoring of directors.

More than 50 people were arrested in Catanzaro on Tuesday over the scandal that hit Serie D and Lega Pro, which is believed to be linked the Calabrian mafia known as the ‘Ndrangheta.
