Brescia have been recalled into Serie B to replace bankrupt Parma, while Albinoleffe and Pordenone are back in Lega Pro.
The switches were decided by the FIGC after several clubs in Italy’s second and third division failed to register for the new season due to financial problems.
Brescia had been relegated from Serie B, but are bumped back up to replace Parma, who now begin again from Serie D.
The others contending for the spot were Lecce and Cittadella.

Meanwhile, Albinoleffe and Pordenone have been pulled up to replace bankrupt sides in Lega Pro (the old Serie C).
The Lega Pro outlook is not yet complete, as Castiglione were to be promoted from Serie D and opted not to register for the professional League.
