Serie A sides get second foreigner Thursday 3 July, 2008
The Federal Council has given the green light for Italian sides to have more than one non-EU player in their squad.
Italian clubs have struggled to compete with their European neighbours in recent years, as they have been allowed no more than one player with non-EU status.
In Spain, clubs may have three and in France four, whereas the Bundesliga demands that German sides have at least eight homegrown players in their squad.
The change in Italy could render Serie A sides more active in the market and could see new players become targets.
“The law has passed,” explained Italian Coaches Association head Renzo Ulivieri [pictured]. “New talent can now arrive in Italy to reinforce our squads.”
For 2008-09, the rule will apply to Serie A sides who have “the possibility of signing two non-EU players where at least one is to replace a non-EU player who has become a free agent or moved abroad.”
