CM 2008 > Guides > League Guides > Italian Serie C1/B

The Italian Serie C1/B is one of two divisions which form the third tier of the Italian football league system. There is a good standard of players in this division, although due to lack of funds, a lot of teams opt to loan players from the reserve and youth teams of clubs in Serie A and Serie B. The newly relegated teams; Arezzo, Crotone and Pescara, as well as Ancona and Salernitana will be the main contenders for the two promotion places.

League Structure:

- Champions are promoted
- Teams finishing 2nd-5th contest play offs, with the winner being promoted

- The teams finishing 14th and 17th and 16th and 17th contest a two legged play out game, with the two losing teams being relegated to Serie C2/B
- Bottom team are relegated

CM FOCUS

 
CM 2010 section
We will soon be starting work on our new CM 2010 section, which should be up within the next week.

I hope to build up some comprehensive lists of all the best players, tactics, set pieces routines and training schedules.

I am also hoping to start a new Lower League Section, with help and guides for those who chose to start their managerial careers further down the footballing ladder.

If anyone is interested in helping with the Lower League section or any other area of the site, then please send me an e-mail at jonathan@champ-man.com
