The2005–06 Serie A (known as theSerie ATIM for sponsorship reasons) was the 104th season of top-tier Italianfootball, the 74th in around-robin tournament. The league commenced on 28 August 2005 and finished on 14 May 2006. WhileJuventus were originally the first-placed team, this title was putsub judice due to their involvement in theCalciopoli scandal, withInter Milan instead declared champions by theItalian Football Federation (FIGC) on 26 July 2006, thus winning the title for the first time in 17 years.[1]
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.
