Allegri suspended for two Serie A games after red card

Napoli coach Massimiliano Allegri has been suspended for two Serie A matches and fined after receiving a red card during his team's 3-3 draw against Roma last weekend. Allegri will miss the upcoming match against Monza on Wednesday, as well as the game against Juventus on Sunday. Despite the club's statement indicating they plan to appeal the decision, Allegri has decided not to pursue an appeal, acknowledging that the punishment could have been more severe.

What upset Allegri most is the team's failure to secure the three points, despite their strong performance. He expressed his disappointment, stating that it was a shame they left the match without winning. Allegri will not be on the bench for either of the two suspended games, but he believes that whoever takes his place will likely perform better than he would.

Allegri has faced criticism since his appointment as Napoli's coach in the summer. He was sent off during the match and became aggressive towards a referee, throwing his jacket to the ground as he left the changing room. The Italian League concluded that Allegri made a seriously disrespectful remark to the officials in the changing room and displayed an aggressive attitude towards an opposing team official. Napoli currently sits in 10th place in Serie A, 11 points behind leaders Inter Milan.
