### Italian football scandal

In May 2012, Modena received two penalty points as several players, including Tamburini, had been accused of match fixing.

On 31 May 2012 he was banned 10 months due to involvement in 2011–12 Italian football scandal (formal announcement on 18 June). Gianni Rosati, sports director of Reggina, had asked Tamburini to make contact with Antonio Narciso (by then Grosseto player, former Modena team-mate) in order to alter the match Reggina–Grosseto. The round 40 match Reggina 1–0 won and ultimately Reggina qualified to promotion playoffs as the 6th place (last berth).
