The 1932âÂÂ33 Serie B was the fourth tournament of this football competition played in Italy since its creation.
Grion Pola, Messina and Sampierdarenese had been promoted from Prima Divisione, while Brescia and Modena had been relegated from Serie A.
The new secretary of the Fascist Party which was appointed in 1933, Achille Starace, disliked the incumbent FIGCâÂÂs chairman Leandro Arpinati. He obtained Arpinati to be fired and arrested by Mussolini after false accusations of infidelity. His hate was strong enough that he imposed to the new chairman Giorgio Vaccaro the disbandment of the Serie B round robin, the main creation of Arpinati's sport career. They denied a return to a northâÂÂsouth division of the league, so a westâÂÂeast division was introduced, with rising costs considering Italy's shape.
