Juventus coach Fabio Capello resigned on Tuesday, the third day of the trial of Italian football's match-fixing scandal.
ROME: Juventus coach Fabio Capello resigned on Tuesday, the third day of the trial of Italian football's match-fixing scandal.
Juve gave no other details in a brief statement on its website.
The new president of Real Madrid, Ramon Calderon, said on Monday he planned to appoint Capello coach of the Spanish team.
Juventus is at the core of a match-fixing scandal in Italy and could be relegated if a sports tribunal finds against the club.
Earlier, Italian football federation official Paolo Bergamo resigned.
The deliberations resumed at Rome's Olympic stadium where Lazio play, one of the four clubs -- also Juventus, AC Milan and Fiorentina -- under the spotlight for sporting fraud charges.
The lawyer of Bergamo, one of two officials involved in designating referees under suspicion in this trial, announced his client was stepping down from his role at the FICG.
Twenty-five people and four clubs are suspected of match-fixing during the 2004/05 Italian league season.
Stefano Palazzi requested Juventus be dropped to below the second division and that AC Milan, Lazio and Fiorentina are relegated to the second division.
He deducted penalty points -- 15 from both Lazio and Fiorentina, six from Juventus and three from AC Milan -- which will be imposed at the start of next season.
Juventus' equity on the Milan stock market immediately dropped 7.59 percent following the prosecutor's request.
Palazzi also asked that the last two Italian leagues titles won by Juventus be stripped from the club.
There were requests for individuals to be punished on this third day of the trial where 25 people as well as the four clubs are under suspicion of sporting fraud.
Luciano Moggi and Antonio Giraudo, Juventus' top officials during the 2004/05 season, are threatened with being excluded from all sporting activities for five years.
AC Milan official Adriano Galliani, who recently resigned as president of Italy's professional football league, is set to receive a two-year ban and Franco Carraro, who recently resigned from the Italian football federation presidency, is facing a five-year suspension.
