Per the form, "The revocation will be effective no earlier than the tax year following the year in which you provide the noncustodial parent with a copy of the revocation or make a reasonable effort to provide the noncustodial parent with a copy of the revocation".
If the Form 8332 is dated in 2019 the IRS should allow you to claim the child for the 2019 tax year. You followed the correct procedure by mailing in your return with a copy of his revocation on the Form 8332.
You need to have him sign a new Form 8332 for the 2020 tax year.
