Italy complains about football decision: “A slap in the face”

While the Serie D relegates had already announced an appeal before the association council meeting ( here's the link SportNews report), sparks are now also flying in Series C. For example in Rimini, where the starting situation is particularly strange. The club has to be relegated directly to Serie D - even though Rimini has collected just as many points as its competitor Fano. The goals scored and conceded are also identical, but the direct duel tipped the scales in favor of the brands, who can therefore contest the relegation playoff against Ravenna. >>> This is what happens in Series C: The report. Because Rimini would have played the second leg against Fano at home and there were still eleven more match days left, the club does not want to accept relegation. In protest against the decision, club president Giorgio Grassi resigned from his position: “I am resigning because this decision is a slap in the face.” Displeasure about the relegation playoffs Picerno, which plays in the southern district of Serie C, is also dissatisfied. The club from Basilicata, which completed the first third division season in its history, has to play the relegation playouts. The club is obviously not very happy about this, as an appeal has already been announced. “And all this so that some clubs can save a bit of money?” Alessandro Marino, Olbia President Olbia President Alessandro Marino is also anything but enthusiastic about the relegation playout. In a Twitter post, the Sardinian revealed his displeasure with the FIGC decision. “12 clubs will be forced to play out relegation in two games instead of 13. And all of this just so that other clubs can save a bit of money? “It has to be that famous sporting fairness…” said Marino. Olbia meets Giana Erminio in the Group A playout, whose coach Cesare Albè would also have preferred a different end to the season: “We could have continued playing, just like Serie A does.” Series A demands autonomy There is also a lot of criticism from Serie A. Because the league was overruled by the association ( here's the link SportNews report), some clubs are now demanding autonomy in such decisions. Inter boss Giuseppe Marotta calls the FIGC decision a “slap in the face” and wants Serie A to manage itself in the future – after all, it would also bring the most money into the association. The Premier League should serve as a model, says Marotta.
