Antonio Conte handed 2-match ban for abusing officials | OneFootball

Napoli's coach, Antonio Conte, was suspended for two matches in the Italian Championship this Tuesday (13). The decision comes after he was sent off during the Serie A game against Inter Milan (2-2) last Sunday (11).

Conte received a red card 26 minutes into the second half “for insulting the refereeing team” after a penalty was awarded to Inter.

“After the expulsion, he kicked a ball that was on the sideline and approached the fourth official in a threatening manner, repeating offensive comments,” explained the Serie A disciplinary committee.

The former coach of the Italian national team, who led Napoli to the Italian championship title last May, in his first season in charge of the team, will not be on the sidelines for the postponed match against Parma this Wednesday, nor for the home game against Sassuolo on Saturday.

Napoli currently occupies third place in the Italian Championship, with 39 points, four behind the leader, Inter (43 points), whom they surpassed by one point in the race for the 2025 title.
