2005–06 Serie A

The 2005–06 Serie A (known as the Serie A TIM for sponsorship reasons) was the 104th season of top-tier Italian football, the 74th in a round-robin tournament. The league commenced on 28 August 2005 and finished on 14 May 2006. While Juventus were originally the first-placed team, this title was put sub judice due to their involvement in the Calciopoli scandal, with Internazionale instead declared champions by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) on 26 July 2006.[1]

Rule changes

Prior to the 2005–06 season, if two or more teams were tied in points for first place, for only one spot in a European tournament, or in the relegation zone, teams would play tie-breaking matches after the season was over to determine which team would be champion, or be awarded a European tournament spot, or be saved or relegated. However, 2005–06 saw the introduction of new rules. If two or more teams ended the season with the same number of points, the ordering was determined by their head-to-head records. If two or more teams had the same total points and head-to-head records, goal difference became the decisive factor.

Rules for classification: 1) points; 2) goal difference; 3) number of goals scored.[4]
(C) Champion; (R) Relegated.
Notes:
  1. Milan, Fiorentina and Lazio were docked 30 points, all for involvement in the Calciopoli.[2]
  2. Parma gained entry to the 2006–07 UEFA Cup because 2005–06 Coppa Italia finalists Inter and Roma qualified to the 2006–07 UEFA Champions League and 2006–07 UEFA Cup through their respective championship positions. The final positions of Parma and Empoli were decided by head-to-head record.
  3. Juventus were originally the first-placed team, but were placed at the bottom of the league table (without deduction of points) due to violation of sporting principles, relegating them to Serie B. The title was put sub judice, then assigned to Internazionale, the team taking the first place after the courts.[3][2]
