Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti yesterday was called by judges to appear as a witness at the next hearing of the criminal trial into Italy's 2006 match-fixing scandal, set for April 20.

Ancelotti's former club Milan were deducted points by a sporting tribunal for involvement in the scandal, which led to rivals Juventus being relegated and stripped of two Serie A titles.

Lawyers defending Luciano Moggi, the former Juve director at the centre of the affair, have caused a stir by presenting wiretaps which allegedly dragged in previously untainted club Inter.

Criminal prosecutors, however, said the contents of the new wiretaps did not indicate any wrongdoing by Inter executives.
