Juventus docked 10 points for false accounting relating to transfer dealings

Juventus have been docked 10 points by the Italian football federation for irregularities in the club's accounting.

The penalty drops Juve to seventh place in Serie A, outside the European qualification spots.

The Serie A side were initially hit with a 15-point sanction in January but the penalty was rescinded after an appeal.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.

Long bans given to former chairman Andrea Agnelli, ex-chief executive Maurizio Arrivabene and sporting directors Federico Cherubini and Fabio Paratici have now been upheld.
