Lega Serie A have announced that a Shareholders’ Meeting will be held on Friday 3rd April to discuss what the next steps to take are, as well as decide what the future of this season will be, according to a report from Italian news outlet ANSA earlier today.

The report details how the meeting was deemed necessary due to the ongoing Coronavirus emergency, which has caused over 9000 deaths in Italy alone over the last few months. With the country in total lockdown, Serie A was postponed until further notice. The future of the season has been hanging in the balance, as it was unclear whether it would be safe enough or not to play the remaining games.

The League meeting will discuss what to do about this season, the report continues, as well as discuss the situation regarding players’ salaries, whilst also touching on the Coronavirus emergency in general. The salary topic has been much discussed since it was announced that the Italian clubs wanted either a reduction or temporary suspension of players’ salaries in order to guarantee their financial stability.
