Official: Pisa join Sassuolo with promotion to Serie A after 34 years | OneFootball

Pisa are officially promoted into Serie A after a 34-year absence, Pippo Inzaghi’s side securing their qualification for the top flight along with Sassuolo.

There are three teams who make the step up from Serie B every summer, with two of them earning automatic promotion, then a third assigned via the play-offs.

We already know the top two with two rounds left to play this season, because after Sassuolo guaranteed their spot, Pisa will now be joining them.

There were wild celebrations despite the 1-0 defeat away to Bari today, because Spezia also lost 2-1 to Reggiana, therefore putting them out of reach.

It is a remarkable turnaround for Pisa, who had not been in Serie A since the 1990-91 campaign.

The fans are filling the streets around the iconic Leaning Tower, awaiting the return of the squad and coach Filippo Inzaghi from Bari.

This is the third promotion into Serie A for coach Inzaghi, who already made the step up with Venezia and Benevento.
