FIGC commissioner wants to reduce Serie A teams and non-Italians

FIGC Commissioner Roberto Fabbricini hinted at far-reaching reforms, noting “20 teams in Serie A are too many” and more limitations on non-EU players.
“Perhaps 20 teams in Serie A are too many,” Fabbricini told Radio Radio.
“The season is long, there are weekends in February when four or five games are already irrelevant. Personally, I would say that Serie A with 20 teams is excessive.”
“This same debate could be applied to football. We have made an effort to reduce the number of foreign players coming in every year and want to go further, including an impact on football next term.
“Looking at the Primavera youth teams, we see an exorbitant number of children who come from Eastern Europe or Africa. We cannot think that free entry for young players won’t impact the level of homegrown kids.”

Missing the World Cup has created a huge melt to say the least.

I literally do not see how federations can deny what top-down funding has done in France, Germany, Iceland and Belgium. If you want talented players, you need lots and lots of top-down funding, extremely early interaction with coaches (Iceland starts at 5), and heavy incentives for clubs to invest in youth systems rather than buying (as in the German case). Banning foreign kids will not have the effect they think it will.
Spain is the outlier in terms of the funding aspect, but the tiki-taka at the international level was a decision the federation made in conjunction with Aragones after WC 2006. There was still top-down direction, which finally gave structure to the immensely talented players the country historically produced.

He’s a dumbass.
Serie A is the only league you can point right now and say that most of their games mean something.
There’s a title race
There’s a three way race between 2 CLs and an EL spot
There’s a good race for the other EL spot
There’s still a little doubt on who is being relegated
The reason they should be dropping two teams is because every year there is a team that is so dead last it’s not funny.

But every European league should drop down to 16 teams at most

It's modern populism bleeding into the game. I'm fine with it, more spots for England once Italy fall off of a cliff.
