The top Italian sides are hoping to emulate the success of England’s Premier League in particular, which has flourished since splitting from the other English Football League divisions in 1992.
Reuters reports that the move has been approved at a meeting of club presidents, and Serie A and B will now be run as separate entities – they were previously managed together – although they will still share a common president. Maurizio Beretta, a former head of Italy’s employers’ association will fill the post.
