Empoli promoted to Serie A!

Empoli and Coach Aurelio Andreazzoli have earned promotion to Serie A after 12 months in the second division.

The Tuscan club secured a top two finish with today’s 1-1 result against Novara, as last night second-place Palermo lost 3-0 to Venezia.

It is a return to Serie A for Empoli, who were relegated in 2016-17, and will be their 13th top flight campaign.

Andreazzoli achieved something remarkable, as he only took over on December 17 after Vincenzo Viviani was fired.
