The prosecutors in Italy's soccer scandal trial are seeking to demote Juventus, the reigning champion, from the country's top league to the third tier and strip the team of two league titles.

Two other top-four finishers of last season, AC Milan and Fiorentina, could be demoted to the second-tier league, as could Lazio for its alleged role in a match-fixing scandal.

Further troubling Juventus was the resignation of its coach, Fabio Capello, who announced Tuesday that he would be leaving Juventus to coach Real Madrid next season.

On Tuesday, the third day of hearings before a sports tribunal in Rome, the lead prosecutor, Stefano Palazzi, outlined a package of penalties that was in line with the harshest of expectations.
