Serie A clubs are proposing to revamp Serie B by entering reserve teams in the league.

It is one suggestion put forward this week at a conference chaired by Arrigo Sacchi at Coverciano and attended by the heads of youth development at each of Serie A's teams.

Their aim at the meeting is to work towards improving the country's recent track record of producing young Italian footballers.

Tuttosport says Fiorentina and AC Milan are the first to put their names to the proposal, and that Juventus are also in favour of the scheme.

Sacchi is also believed to support the idea, unlike Serie B President Andrea Abodi, who instead wants to develop FIGC's focus on improving infrastructure at clubs.
