During the break for international duty, representatives from the 20 Serie A clubs came together to discuss various issues at the headquarters in Milan today.
President Ezio Simonelli outlined the start of a new Serie A code of ethics, which will apply to all players, coaches, directors, and members of staff.
Serie A code of ethics ideas
Although this is still in the early stages of planning, Calcio e Finanza suggest it will assign specific fines for all violations, without leaving them all to the disciplinary commission.
Among the main focus points will be combating simulation on the pitch, especially in the wake of the Alessandro Bastoni controversy to get Pierre Kalulu sent off during Inter vs. Juventus.
Other targets for a clampdown are insulting or damaging statements made during post-match interviews.
This could involve creating a new and independent body to impose the fines, working alongside the FIGC and disciplinary commission.
