Paolo Cannavaro and Gianluca Grava have been banned from football for six months following their failure to report former Partenopei goalkeeper Matteo Gianello for attempting to fix the Serie A clash with Sampdoria in 2010.

The Naples outfit have received the punishment because they are the players' employers.

A disciplinary commission statement published by the Italian Football Federation on Tuesday read: "Two penalty points for Napoli and a 70,000 euro fine.

"A ban of three years and three months for Matteo Gianello and bans of six months for Paolo Cannavaro and Gianluca Grava."
