At the meeting of the leaders of Italian football, several important decisions were made regarding the tournaments in Serie A, where Atalanta plays Ruslan Malinovskyiand Yevhen Shakhov is playing for Lecce.

First, if the 2019/2020 championship is suspended for the second time (Serie A is planned to be renewed on June 13), it will be completed by a short playoff system, when the teams will be divided into two groups. The first will consist of clubs from the top of the standings, and the second - from the bottom. It is within these groups that the playoffs will take place, which will determine the final places.

Secondly, if the championship is stopped without the right to resume, the final places of the teams will be determined by a special coefficient.

Third, the A-2019/2020 Series should be completed by August 20, as the 1/2020 season should begin on September 2021.

About this reports the official website of the Italian Football Federation.
