Italian Serie A most successful team Juventus have been deducted 15 points in the wake of an investigation into the club’s past transfer dealings.
The Serie A giants were accused of fixing their balance sheets by artificial gains from club transfers.
The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) confirmed the news on Friday, with ex-Juve director Fabio Paratici – who is now at Tottenham – given a two-and-a-half-year ban from Italian football.
The FIGC has also hit Agnelli and the club’s former chief executive Maurizio Arrivabene with two-year bans, while current sports director Federico Cherubini has been given a 16-month ban.
A total of 11 former and current Juventus executives have received sanctions, with Nedved given an eight-month ban.
The FIGC says all the bans include a request for the sanction to be extended to Uefa and Fifa and therefore then apply worldwide.
Juventus had been in third place but the penalty will drop them to 10th.
