'Both Verona and Spezia finished the regular season level on points, on either side of the relegation zone. Under new rules there was a playoff to decide who would join last-place Sampdoria and Cremonese in being relegated.
If the rules hadn’t been changed, Spezia would have stayed up as it had the better head-to-head record.
It was the first relegation playoff since 2005, when Parma beat Bologna over two legs.
This was a one-off match in Reggio Emilia'.
Certainly exciting to watch. Ranieri won the Serie B playoff managing Calgiari.
Good enough for Leicester getting relegated. The way they treated him was disgraceful
