Italy sports authority cancels 15-point penalty for Juventus, orders new trial

[ad_1]

Italy’s top sport body on Thursday ordered a football court to review its previous ruling which docked Juventus 15 points in the current Serie A season, in a case centered on the club’s transfer dealings.

With eight games left to play in this season, the decision lifts Juventus from seventh to third in the Serie A table – with 59 points, 16 behind leaders Napoli – but back into the qualifying spots for the lucrative European Champions League.

Allegri’s seventh-placed side has lost ground on the European places in the last two weeks after back-to-back defeats to Lazio and Sassuolo and in its next match, is up against a Napoli team that will be smarting from its Champions League exit.
