The list does not include Giuseppe Giannini's resignation from Gallipoli, who were announced on February 8, 2010[50] and withdrawn two days later following a meeting with club chairman Daniele D'Odorico.[51]
The 2009–10 Serie B season will feature the return of seven-times Italian champions Torino, who were relegated from Serie A. Other teams relegated from the top flight include Reggina (after seven consecutive seasons in the Serie A) and Lecce (after only one season in the highest tier).
Four teams were promoted from Lega Pro Prima Divisione: Cesena, Crotone, Padova and newcomers Gallipoli. As of August 10 Gallipoli did not manage to organize a squad for the league and were even without a head coach, due to club issues (the club chairman being in talks with several third parties regarding a possible takeover); this also forced the club to play the Under-19 team for the second round of the Coppa Italia tournament, lost 6–1 to lower league outfit Lumezzane. The following day, Giuseppe Giannini returned to coach Gallipoli after a company from Udine took over the club.
On September 23, 2009 the Football League committee point deductions of respectively two and one points for clubs Crotone and Gallipoli due to administrative and financial breaches.[52] The one point deduction for Gallipoli was later canceled by the Federal Court of Justice on October 22, with the two-point penalty regarding Crotone being instead confirmed.[53]
An analogous one-point penalty involving Ancona was ratified by the National Disciplinary Committee on February 18, 2010 due to not having paid a number of salaries in June and July 2009;[54] such deduction was extended to two points by the Federal Court of Justice later on March 12.[55]
The season also experienced a suspension for the March 3 game Cesena vs Sassuolo, which was not completed due to heavy snow at the 73rd minute, with result being 0–0. As per Italian league rules, only the remaining 17 minutes were played, and a unusual mini-game was therefore rescheduled on March 16, during which Sassuolo managed to score a goal (at the second minute of the match replay) and brought home a 1–0 win.[56]
Later on March 19, Salernitana were deducted 6 points due to matchfixing regarding a Serie C1 league game held in April 2008 against Potenza.[57] Salernitana were also the first team to get mathematically relegated, after a 5–2 loss to Empoli left the Campanian club with a 23-point gap between them and 19th-placed Padova with seven games to the end of the season.[58]
