In line with the articles of association, Ludovic Delechat, chairman of FC Pro Vercelli 1892, and Filippo Simone, board member at Altamura, have been added to the board of directors by co-optation. They take the places left vacant by Patrizia Testa and Nicola Grieco, who resigned from their positions.

With the arrival of Delechat and Simone, the pair join the already confirmed board members Mauro Bosco (Vis Pesaro), Mauro Giacca (Trento), Vincenzo Grella (Catania) and Stefano Udassi (Torres). An important starting point in the choice of the new members is the representativeness of the various Gironi (the three regional groups into which the Lega Pro is divided), so that the board remains a balanced reflection of the competition-wide interests.

During that meeting, the seats are formally put up for election and the composition of the council can be confirmed or changed by the members. This intermediate step guarantees administrative continuity and decisiveness between two member meetings.
