Juventus on Friday failed to persuade Italys football federation to repeal their relegation to the second division following a match-fixing trial. A soccer tribunal stripped Juve of their last two Italian titles and demoted them to Serie B where they will start the season with a 17-point deduction.

The Italian Olympic Committees (CONI) conciliation court brought together Juventus directors and the soccer federation on Friday to seek an agreement regarding the clubs appeal for a more lenient sentence, with Juventus demanding a return to Serie A.

But a Juventus statement said the meeting had "not resulted in any conciliation" and that the board would meet on Monday to decide its next move. Before Fridays meeting, Juventus had said it was ready to turn to a regional court if the appeal to sporting bodies failed.
