Inter coach Simone Inzaghi was sent off after referee Maurizio Mariani awarded a penalty to Juventus, becoming the fourth coach to be given his marching orders in Serie A Week 9.
The Old Lady was awarded a controversial penalty kick in the final minutes of the derby d’Italia and Inzaghi didn’t take Mariani’s decision well at all.
The Italian tactician lost his cool and screamed at the referee while throwing a bib to the floor.
Mourinho and Spalletti sent off in Roma vs. Napoli touchline drama
Mariani gave him a straight red card which makes Inzaghi the fourth referee sent off in Serie A this weekend.
Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini had seen red in the lunchtime match against Udinese and went even further in his post-match interviews, claiming that match officials are ‘a big problem’ in Serie A.
Both José Mourinho and Luciano Spalletti were sent off in Roma-Napoli, but for different reasons.
The Special One collected two yellow cards for dissent, while Spalletti applauded Davide Massa after the final whistle.
During his post-match interview, Spalletti tried to explain that his words did not aim to taunt the referee.
