In his latest bid to transform Italian football, Rafael Leão has unveiled plans to restructure Serie A for the next decade.
The former Brazilian international, who spent time at AC Milan and Juventus before becoming coach of Spain's Atletico Madrid, is aiming to make Serie A more competitive by introducing new rules and regulations that will benefit both clubs and players.
Leão's plan includes a ban on foreign players being able to play for more than one club in Italy, as well as changes to the transfer market and the way goals are awarded in matches.
He also wants to introduce a "fair play" system where clubs would be penalised if they do not comply with certain rules, such as not paying their debts or failing to pay their players.
Leão believes that these reforms will help to level the playing field between Serie A clubs and improve the quality of football in the country.
However, some critics have questioned whether these reforms will be enough to make Serie A a truly competitive league, and whether they could lead to the formation of two or even three dominant teams.
Overall, however, it seems clear that Rafael Leão's ambitions for Serie A are significant and that he is determined to make the necessary changes to ensure that the league remains relevant and competitive in the years ahead.
