Juve docked 10 points over transfer irregularities

Juventus have been docked 10 points by the Italian football federation for irregularities in the club's accounting. The Serie A side were initially hit with a 15-point sanction in January but the penalty was rescinded after an appeal. The federation has now moved to issue a new punishment after the federal court of appeal intervened, meaning the club could miss out on European football next season. Before the decision, Juventus sat second in Serie A with 69 points, well adrift of the new champions Napoli.

As a result of the deduction, Juventus slip to seventh in the table, five points shy of the Champions League places with three games remaining.

Last season's champions AC Milan now occupy the final Champions League spot following the ruling.
