The referees have been assigned for the first legs of the Coppa Italia semi-finals, with JuventusLazio on Tuesday and FiorentinaAtalanta on Wednesday.

This is the only round in the entire tournament that is played over two legs, building up to the Final in May.

Lazio beat Juventus 1-0 in stoppages on Saturday in Serie A for Igor Tudor’s debut since replacing Maurizio Sarri and the two teams will meet again on Tuesday at 20.00 UK time (19.00 GMT).

That first leg will be at the Allianz Juventus Stadium in Turin and the referee assigned is Davide Massa, assisted by Aleandro Di Paolo in the VAR booth.

The other semi-final sees Fiorentina and Atalanta come face to face at the Stadio Franchi.

These sides were meant to meet in Serie A on March 17, but it was called off when Viola director Joe Barone suffered a heart attack.

That still needs to be rescheduled, which will not be easy considering both teams are also in the quarter-finals of the Conference League and Europa League respectively.

Maurizio Mariani is the referee for this semi-final, who has support from Valerio Marini as the VAR.

The second legs will be Lazio-Juventus on April 23 and Atalanta-Fiorentina on April 24.
