West Bromwich Albion coach Roberto Di Matteo was due in court today accused of motoring offences.

The Baggies man was listed to appear at Walsall Magistrates Court to face a charge of failing to produce a certificate of insurance.

He is also accused of permitting the use of a motor vehicle with no insurance.

The 39-year-old, who was also due to hold a press conference at 1pm today, had given the court the home address of Overstrand Mansions, Prince of Wales Drive, London.

It comes less than a fortnight after the Swiss-born Italian secured West Bromwich Albion’s promotion back to the Premier League.

The elevation to the top division was confirmed with a 3-2 victory over Doncaster.

Mr Di Matteo also enjoyed a successful playing career and played in midfield for Schaffhausen, Zürich Aarau, Lazio, and Chelsea.

He was also capped by Italy 34 times, scoring two goals for the national team.
