Juventus assistant Angelo Alessio has had his touchline ban reduced from six months to two by Italy’s sporting arbitration court.

Along with Juve manager Antonio Conte, Alessio was dealt a lengthy ban by the Italian Football Federation on August 10 for allegedly failing to report two incidents of match-fixing while in charge of Siena.

The decision means the 47-year-old can return to the Juve bench for their eagerly awaited top-of-the-table encounter against fellow Serie A leaders Napoli following the international break.

Last week, Conte had his suspension from football reduced by six months and he will be available to take charge of Juve’s Serie A game at Palermo on December 9.
