Carlo Ancelotti’s side needed a victory to ensure that the Turin club, who lost 2-1 at SPAL on Saturday, would not wrap up their eighth consecutive league championship with a record six games to spare.
Two goals from Kalidou Koulibaly either side of an Arkadiusz Milik strike confirmed Chievo’s demotion despite Bostjan Cesar‘s late consolation, after a miserable season in which the Verona club have recorded just one win in 32 games.
The result leaves second-placed Napoli on 67 points, 17 behind runaway leaders Juventus on 84.
Juve can secure the title by avoiding defeat at home to Fiorentina next weekend.
Ancelotti picked a strong team as he lookaed to return to winning ways ahead of his side’s Europa League quarter-final second leg against Arsenal on Thursday.
