Italian FA chief asks for Serie A reprieve before World Cup play-offs
Italy's football federation Gabriele Gravina said on Monday that he wants Serie A to give the national team more time to prepare for the 2022 World Cup play-offs. Italy host North Macedonia in the semi-finals in Palermo on March 24 but the country's top flight has a full round of fixtures scheduled just four days before that match, leaving Roberto Mancini little time to prepare.
