European Clubs Association Chairman Andrea Agnelli has claimed that a shake up to the Champions League format is close to being agreed.
Agnelli, who is also Chairman of Italian giants Juventus, has proposed a number of reforms to UEFA, including a new “Swiss system” format to European football’s biggest competition. This may involve expanding the tournament to 36 teams instead of 32.
As quoted by the Guardian, Agnelli said: “I think we’re very close to my ideal Champions League, I think the Swiss system is beautiful.
