ROME: The board of Serie A giants Juventus has resigned over the phone tap scandal that has rocked Italian football.
    
A statement issued by the Turin club said: "The board has handed its mandate to the shareholders and called an ordinary assembly for June 29."
 
The decision comes after transcripts of telephone conversations involving Juventus board members Luciano Moggi and Antonio Giraudo with high-ranking Italian football federation officials were leaked to the press last week.
 
In the conversations, part of an inquiry by Turin prosecutors, Moggi tells Pierluigi Pairetto, head of the Italian referees' association and a member of the UEFA's referees' commission, which referees he would like assigned to several of his team's Serie A and Champions League matches.
 
The scandal prompted an investigation by the Italian football federation, but it was later revealed that
FIGC president Franco Carraro was given the transcripts back in February and had failed to take action.
    
Carraro quit his post on Monday.
