Juve conceded an injury time goal which confirmed Arezzo's fate but gave La Spezia the chance of surviving via the playoffs.

Arezzo council will ask the Italian soccer federation to speed up actions, in the immediate future, that can guarantee perfect regularity in a championship until the final day, the council said in a statement.

Arezzo manager Antonio Conte, who played for Juve, has also expressed his anger at what he described as a lacklustre performance from the side.

Juventus earned themselves promotion back up to Serie A after being relegated at the end of last season for their role in the match-fixing scandal.

Arezzo are waiting a court verdict on whether the six-point deduction they received for their part in the scandal should be reduced, which would mean they still have a chance of staying in the division.
