Napoli – Antonio Conte will not be on the bench for the next two league matches. The Sports Judge has taken a hard line against the Napoli coach, who has been suspended for two matches following a scathing report following the match against Inter, the first match of the second half of the season. In addition to the forced suspension, the coach will have to pay a €15 fine.

The facts and reasons: The nerves erupted in the 26th minute of the second half. According to the official decision, Conte allegedly made insulting remarks toward the match officials, prompting the inevitable red card.

However, it was what happened after the expulsion that aggravated the sanction: the coach kicked the ball away in a show of protest before walking in an "intimidating manner" towards the Fourth Official.

Chaos in the tunnel. The outburst didn't end on the pitch. The statement emphasized that the Azzurri officials' intervention was necessary to remove the coach from the pitch.

The tension then continued in the tunnel leading to the locker rooms where, under the eyes of the Federal Prosecutor's Office collaborators, Conte allegedly repeated the insults towards the entire refereeing team.

A significant absence for Napoli, who will have to do without their charismatic leader in the heart of the second half of the season.
