ROME - Thirteen clubs and 44 people including Juventus coach Antonio Conte and Italian international Leonardo Bonucci have been called to appear before a disciplinary commission of the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) on August 2 as part

of an ongoing probe into a match-fixing scandal, the FIGC said on Thursday.

Juventus' Serie A winning coach Conte was implicated in the "Calcioscommesse" affair after one of his former players Filippo Carobbio accused him of complicity in a fixed match during his time as coach of Siena in the 2010/11 season.
