US Città di Palermo, Cagliari Calcio and Livorno ASC will all play in Serie A next season after gaining promotion with 3-1 wins tonight.
'Date with history'
Serie B leaders Palermo beat USC Triestina to seal a top-five place with three games left in the season, and coach Francesco Guidolin said of their return to the top-flight: "We kept our date with history tonight. It has been a long wait, 31 years."
Five go up
Cagliari overcame Salernitana Sport and Livorno saw off Piacenza FC. Two more sides will join the trio in automatic promotion, with the sixth-placed team - currently Fiorentina AC - playing off with AC Perugia for a place in the expanded 20-team Serie A. Ancona Calcio, Modena FC and Empoli FC have been relegated.
