(Reuters) - Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis would like the number of teams competing in Serie A cut from 20 to 16, he told the Italian radio programme 24 Mattino on Friday. "In 1986, the teams in Serie A were 16. "If we were still 16, with just one relegation, we would all be happier and more competitive." In 1988, the number of teams in Serie A was increased to 18, and it was changed again in 2004 to the current 20. Italian FA president Carlo Tavecchio has in recent years voiced his support for reducing the number of clubs competing in Italy's top flight.
