Serie A 2005-06
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the 2005/2006 season, Serie A, the major professional football league in Italian, was contested for the second year in a row by 20 teams. The league commenced on August 28 2005 and finished on May 14 2006. While Juventus were originally declared champions, this was later revoked due to the 2006 Calciopoli Scandal with Inter Milan on July 26 2006 declared champions by the FIGC.

[edit] Scudetto winner and match-fixing scandal
The 29th scudetto originally won by Juventus F.C. thanks to a decisive 2-0 away victory against Reggina Calcio on the final day of the season was later awarded to F.C. Internazionale Milano after Juventus were found guilty of, and punished for, their involvement in a major scandal involving its board of administration and its managing director Luciano Moggi. A number of wiretappings involving Luciano Moggi and some other leading figures of Italian football shows how Moggi managed and arranged several matches at the very least during 2004/2005 season. This lead to official FIGC tribunals being opened in both Rome and Naples to investigate the matter. Three other clubs–A.C. Milan, ACF Fiorentina and S.S. Lazio–were implicated in the scandal when it broke, with Inter later being linked to the scandal but eventually being fully exonerated. Juventus, Fiorentina, Lazio and Milan were officially charged, while U.S. Lecce, Reggina, A.C. Siena, Empoli F.C. and Serie B side A.C. Arezzo have been the targets of new investigations 1.
After an initial trial, Juventus, Fiorentina and Lazio were relegated to Serie B for the 2006/2007 season with additional points penalties for the following Serie B season, whilst AC Milan were deducted 44 points from their 2005/06 tally, leaving them with a mid-table finish for the 2005/2006 season. The initial trial also stripped the last two Serie A championships from Juventus while AC Milan, Fiorentina and Lazio were all removed from entry to all European competition for the 2006/2007 (due to their new Serie A standing in the 2005/2006 not being high enough for European qualification).
All four penalized teams appealed the decision, and their appeals all resulted in reduced punishments. Juve's reduction was by far the smallest. They will stay in Serie B and will have 17 points deducted from the next campaign (-30 before appeal), and both of their last Scudetti remain stripped. Fiorentina and Lazio will play in Serie A after the appeal, each with 19 and 11 points deducted from the next campaign. Milan's points penalty for 2005-06 was reduced from 44 to 30, putting Milan in third place and provisionally making them eligible for the third qualifying round of the Champions League. (UEFA would later confirm Milan's place in the Champions League competition.) Milan's points penalty for 2006-07 was reduced to only 8. Fiorentina and Lazio also had 30 points deducted from their 2005-06 season campaign.
On July 26th, 2006, the FIGC awarded Inter Milan with the 2005/2006 Scudetto. [1].

[edit] Top Scorers
The capocannoniere (top scorer) of 2005-06 is Luca Toni, forward of ACF Fiorentina and of the national team. His 31 goals set a record in recent Italian football, since it is necessary to go back to 1958/59 season to find a capocannoniere with a higher record (Angelillo, 33 goals).
