Napoli's Allegri gets two-match ban and fine for Roma incident...
Napoli coach Max Allegri has been given a two-match suspension for abusive remarks and aggressive behaviour towards match officials and an AS Roma staff member following his dismissal during Saturday's 3-3 home draw, Serie A's sports judge announced on Monday.
Allegri was sent off shortly after Leonardo Balerdi netted a late equaliser for Roma. Believing there had been a foul in the build-up, the Napoli coach reacted angrily when VAR allowed the goal to stand, resulting in a straight red card.
The manager, who has also been fined €10,000 ($11,200), will miss the Serie A fixtures at Monza on Wednesday and at Juventus on Sunday as his 10th-placed Napoli side seek to turn things around after winning just one of their last four league games.
In a statement, Napoli said they will appeal the decision.
Allegri made an “abusive remark towards the match officials” and later, in the changing room, “adopted an aggressive attitude towards an official of the opposing team,” the disciplinary authority said in a decision published on the league's website.
“Offences (were) noted by the fourth official (Juan Luca Sacchi) and the referee (Andrea Colombo), and the latter by officials from the Federal Prosecutor’s Office,” the sports judge added.
Allegri in a post-match interview denied having abused the match officials. “The fourth official called the referee and got me sent off, but I said absolutely nothing,“ he told DAZN Italia.
