Milan Coach Massimiliano Allegri and Sampdoria striker Maxi Lopez have both failed in their appeals to have bans reversed.

Milan Coach Massimiliano Allegri and Sampdoria striker Maxi Lopez have both failed in their appeals to have bans reversed.

Allegri was reprimanded for insulting the referee in his side's 2-1 defeat to Udinese on Sunday. He will have to watch tomorrow's match against Cagliari from the stands, with assistant Mauro Tassotti deputising.

Lopez, a former Milan player, was sanctioned for kicking the referee's door after Samp's 1-1 weekend draw with Torino. He will miss two games, tomorrow's nights away at Roma, and Sunday's at home to Napoli.
