Adriano Galliani, CEO of Monza, made some statements during the hearings before the Culture and Education Commission of the Senate on the prospects for reform of Italian football.
Galliani spoke about the conflicts within the League: «I fully agree with President Gravina’s report. There have always been conflicts within the system but now they have worsened because four big names, Milan, Inter, Juventus and Roma, thought that through the abolition of the right of agreement the format of Serie A could be changed from 20 to 18. And in the majority of clubs the belief was born that the federal president agreed with this position»
Galliani: «We can go from 20 to 18 teams, but with percentages of revenue for those who are relegated»
«I can’t ask questions, I’m the legal representative of a Serie A team and therefore I struggle to be impartial“, has continued.
«What would I have done if I had still been manager of Milan? I would have tried a less crude maneuver, I would have moved differently. You can also go from 20 to 18 teams, but with percentages of revenue for those who are relegated. At the moment an incredible gap is being created between the top teams, who have a turnover of 500 million, and the last ones who have a turnover of 50 million.».
The declarations of the CEO of Monza on the change of format:
Adriano Galliani made some statements on the sidelines of the Lega Serie A assembly. The Monza CEO doesn’t think it’s right that FIFA and UEFA crowd the calendars and force Serie A to make reforms.
Statements reported by Ansa.
«What I think about playoffs and playouts is simple. Serie A has played with 20 teams for 20 years. Now someone thinks that since the championship has always remained the same but FIFA and UEFA have greatly increased their matches, the format will change because one or two go to the Club World Cup».
«It’s a simple concept but I don’t see it very clearly. We talk about crowded calendars but who crowded them? Since someone else crowded them, we have to pay».
