The CEO of Sassuolo Andrea Carnevali expressed himself as follows at the end of the Assembly which modified the FIGC Statute: “In Serie B – he said – we were all in favor of the change” –
In Serie A, however, we saw a different scenario
After seeing the votes of the Serie A League, we saw a League that was certainly split, but it was already split before. It’s a shame because I believe in certain situations being united can lead to much better results.”
Sassuolo can return to Serie A soon
“We hope to get there soon, Serie B is a difficult championship. The goal is to return to Serie A as soon as possible.”
With the modification of the Statute, the electoral weights during the Federal Council change
Serie A – Federal Councilors go from 3 to 4, electoral weight from 12 to 18%.
Series B – Federal Councilors go from 1 to 2, electoral weight from 5 to 6%.
Lega Pro – Federal Councilors go from 2 to 1, electoral weight from 17 to 12%
Serie D – Situation remains unchanged: 6 councilors and 34% electoral weight.
Assoallenatori – Situation remains unchanged: 2 councilors and 10% electoral weight.
Footballers’ Associations – Situation remains unchanged: 4 councilors and 20% electoral weight.
Italian Association of Referees – Federal Councilors go from 1 to 0, electoral weight from 2% to 0.
With this reform, Serie A acquires greater autonomy and veto power in matters that concern it (the only League to maintain it). However, it does not maintain autonomy over team controls (now entrusted to an independent authority) and in some matters the FIGC remains counter-veto. Technical and managerial autonomy for referees.
