Juventus have been deducted 15 Serie A points for alleged financial irregularities and false accounting, while Tottenham’s transfer chief Fabio Paratici has been handed a 30-month ban from Italian football for his involvement.

The two-and-a-half-year ban for Juve’s former sporting director Paratici, who is now managing director of football at Spurs, includes a request for an extension to cover UEFA and FIFA activities.

Sky Sports News has contacted Tottenham for comment in relation to the sanction handed out against Paratici – there is no suggestion he has done any wrongdoing while at Spurs.

The Italian national football federation’s (FIGC) decision means Juventus will plunge from third to 10th place in the Serie A table, outside the spots for European competition.

Juve indicated on Friday night that they are waiting for the written reasons behind the sanctions but will launch an appeal.
