The point deduction is the result of an investigation by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) into allegations that the club provided “false accounting and market manipulation” in the transfer market.
This news comes on the heels of a particularly chaotic year for the club.
They -- along with 10 other clubs -- were initially cleared of any wrongdoing back in April, but the league reopened the investigation in November. In the meantime, the team struggled on the pitch, finishing fourth on the table and without any trophies for the first time in over a decade. This is far from what fans are used to at the storied club, which currently owns a record 36 league titles and two Champions League wins to its name.
Since returning from the World Cup international break, they seemed to be returning to form, losing only one of seven games, in part due to contributions from American Weston McKennie. McKennie is on the short list of rumored Premier League transfers, with heavy speculation that he could join national team teammate Christian Pulisic at Chelsea or Paratici at Tottenham.
As of now, Juventus is on the outside looking in at European competitions next season. While winning Coppa Italia in March could give them entrance into either the Europa League or Europa Conference league, their best bet is to work their way back into the top 6 of the table.
