Juventus coach Spalletti and Cagliari’s Pisacane hit with 1-match bans after heated clash
The judge said Spalletti and Pisacane fueled tension in a postmatch handshake and will miss one league game each.
- On Tuesday, the Italian league handed one-match bans to Juventus coach Luciano Spalletti and Cagliari coach Fabio Pisacane following their heated post-match confrontation during Sunday's 1-1 draw.
- According to the disciplinary ruling, Spalletti 'adopted a provocative attitude towards the opposing team's coach,' while Pisacane 'reacted to the opposing team's coach's provocative behavior' as they grasped each other.
- Regarding the post-match exchange, Spalletti dismissed the altercation as benign, telling reporters 'Nothing happened really' and claiming he paid Pisacane a sarcastic compliment about time-wasting.
- Juventus will face Lazio without Spalletti this weekend, while Cagliari travels to Monza without Pisacane as both coaches serve their suspensions.
- Separately, Roma forward Donyell Malen received a one-match ban after a straight red card, though the league deemed his foul a 'genuine attempt to win the ball back,' allowing him to miss only Saturday's match against Genoa.
