Juventus F.C. had one of its best seasons ever, before being caught in Italian football's biggest ever scandal, which stripped the club of two league titles and relegated it to Serie B, as well as suspending club directors Luciano Moggi and Antonio Giraudo for life. When the consequences became clear, former player and newly appointed sporting director Gianluca Pessotto attempted suicide, an attempt that failed, and his life was able to be saved. The suicide attempt took place despite Pessotto not being investigated for any of the bribery crimes. Pessotto was able to lead a normal life afterwards, despite the fall being some 15 metres.

On the pitch, Juventus had been further strengthened by the arrival of Patrick Vieira from Arsenal, the French international being regarded as one of the game's finest midfielders at the time. Together with Emerson and a robust defence headed by Fabio Cannavaro, Lilian Thuram and goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, Juventus formed the core in both the French and Italian sides that faced each other in the 2006 FIFA World Cup Final.

Following the enforced relegation, Juventus lost Cannavaro and Emerson to Real Madrid, Thuram and Gianluca Zambrotta to Barcelona, Adrian Mutu to Fiorentina, and Vieira and Zlatan Ibrahimović to Internazionale. The remainder of the squad did however stay, since the contracts were not torn up by the penalisation, and that meant several world-class players spent the 2006–07 season in the second division.
