An Italian football court has imposed a 16-month ban from the game on the former Juventus chairman Andrea Agnelli in a case over irregularities in the club’s payments to players, the Italian national football association (FIGC) said on Monday. Agnelli, one of the figures behind a failed European Super League project in 2021, was also given a €60,000 (£51,300) fine, the FIGC said. He was Juventus chairman for more than a decade but announced his resignation last November after a financial scandal that hit Italy’s most successful club. As part of the same case, Juventus in May agreed to pay a fine of €718,000 and not challenge a 10-point penalty for the past Serie A season in a settlement it reached with Italy’s football authorities.
