[edit]

The 2019-20 season was hit by the coronavirus pandemic that compelled the federation to suspend and later cancel the competition without assigning the title to anyone.[1] Brindisi ended the championship in 5th position.

Depth chart

[edit]

Brindisi starts the season with the 5+5 format, but in January they pay the so called "luxury tax" of 40 thousand euros, that moves the team to the 6+6 format.[2] In this new format the team can play with one foreign player more, a total of six, in the Italian championship.
