Originally posted by GetNasty Serie A will be expanded from 18 teams to 20 teams next season after striking a deal with several rebel lower league clubs who had boycotted the start of the season.
This means that 5 teams will be promoted from Serie B this season with 3 being relegated from Serie A. A playoff will also take place between 6th place in Serie B and 15th place in Serie A.
The controversy surrounding this started last month when it was decided that Serie B should be expanded from 20 to 24 teams, with re-admittance from relegated sides Catania, Genoa and Salernitana along with Fiorentina.
So next season:
Serie A = 20 teams.
Serie B = 22 teams. |
That's how it looks of course right now
But knowing Italy's history of controversial decisions ... I'd say to first wait and see
Yesterday's Results:
