Champions League: Clubs Meet to Discuss Revamp Including Promotion and Relegation

The European Club Association are set to meet this month to discuss plans to revamp the Champions League, with a new pyramid system featuring promotion and relegation to Europe's elite club competition on the table.

The ECA is chaired by Juventus chairman Andrea Agnelli, and represents 232 UEFA member clubs.

As per the BBC, Agnelli wrote to each of the clubs, proposing new ideas to introduce a 'pan-European pyramidal league system' based on performance rather than historical privilege within the footballing world, and could see clubs move fluidly throughout UEFA competitions irrespective of their domestic performance.
