On the occasion of the awards ceremony at the “Manuzzi” stadium in Cesenathe president of the Lega Pro, Matteo Marani, met the press to congratulate the Bianconeri winners of Group B and addressed the topic of the playoffs: “We have convened an extraordinary Board of Directors for tomorrow at 12.30 pm to decide the starting date of the playoffs, in light of the judgment still pending before the Board of Guarantee of Coni on Taranto’s appeal. The possible postponement of the start date of the playoffs will be discussed by the Council tomorrow. In the next 24 hours, according to the indications of the FIGC – which I thank for their efforts – we should know the official day of the hearing at CONI”.
Unfortunately, the postponement will occur for reasons beyond the control of the Lega Pro. “I am sorry, as president, for the inconvenience that this matter causes to the clubs, to the 28 teams and to millions of fans, who are rightly awaiting the start of the playoffs. For months we have been working to make them more beautiful and richer, with VAR in all races, but once again the timing in the control system proves not to be in line with the speed needs of a professional championship.” We remind you that the matter refers to the payment deadline of 16 December 2023, relating to the months of September and October 2023.
