“We are convinced that this solution will produce great results,” said Giovanni Malago, extraordinary commissioner of the league.

Serie A games will take place on 22nd, 26th, 29th December in the 2018/19 December before football in Italy’s top flight has a two-week break.

On Monday, Serie A also announced that their summer transfer window will only run until 18th August, a day before the league season begins.
