(Reuters) - Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri urged his team to "do their duty" on the pitch after the Serie A side were deducted 15 points by an Italian soccer court on Friday, leaving them marooned in mid-table.

The ruling, which deals a blow to the Turin club's reputation, is tougher than the nine-point deduction a soccer prosecutor had requested during a hearing investigating Juve's transfer dealings.
