Juventus coach Antonio Conte is facing a 15-month suspension for his role in the in the 'Calcioscommesse' match-fixing scandal, Italian agency Ansa claims.
Conte is accused of failing to notify authorities about match-fixing in two games when he was in charge of Siena during the 2010-2011 season.
The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) rejected Conte's proposal to plead guilty in exchange for a three-month ban, Ansa reported on Thursday.
The ruling throws Conte's return to the Juventus sidelines in November into doubt, leaving the Serie A team in a critical situation.
The matches in question, which took place when Siena was in Serie B, were against Novara and Albinoleffe.
