Brescia in the downward spiral: four points withdrawal and threatening descent!

In a dramatic turn in the Italian series B, the Sport justice decided to withdraw Brescia Calcio for the time being. The club is now the third relegation next to Cosenza and Cittadella. The reason for this difficult step is tax inconsistencies at the salaries in February, reports Laola1.at .

Due to the point deduction, Brescia slips to a relegation zone, which means the happy ending for Frosinone Calcio, since they are now on the 15th place and are saved before the relegation relegation. Salernitana and Sampdoria also benefit and now keep a place in the relegation game. Brescia plans to appeal against the judgment, which is scheduled for June 12. If the appeal fails, the club only has the way to the International Sports Court.

playouts and possible changes

Series B faces further challenges, because the league has planned the playouts for June 15 and 20, between Salernitana and Sampdoria. Interestingly, if the appointment is successful, Brescia could compete with 21 teams next season. The situation continues to be complicated by the locks that President Massimo Cellino and Managing Director Edoardo Cellino received for six months.

In another context, Italian football is currently facing a massive betting scandal that may have far -reaching consequences. Numerous players, including Sandro Tonali, Nicolò Fagioli, and Nicolò Zaniolo, are involved in the investigation. In particular, Fagioli suffers from gambling addiction and was occupied with a seven -month lock and a fine of 12,500 euros because he has completed inadmissible sports betting. He cooperates with the judiciary and claims not to have relied on games of his own team.

Tonali admitted his mistakes and plans to take psychological support, while Zaniolo has a decisive impact. Another player, Leonardo Bonucci, is also examined because he communicated about sports betting in chat messages with Fagioli. The investigation into the embezzlement in the sports betting industry could massively damage the image of Italian football, similar to in the past in previous betting scandals.

The Italian judiciary now has 60 days to complete the investigation, and Fabrizio Corona, a former Paparazzo, has announced that it would increase further revelations, which could further tighten the situation for the players involved, like watson.ch reported.
