Reports suggest Napoli Coach Maurizio Sarri will only face a two-match ban for alleged homophobic remarks.
After last night’s Coppa Italia match, Inter Coach Roberto Mancini accused the Partenopei boss of using homophobic slurs, and called for him to be drummed out of football.
It was reported this morning that the tactician could be banned for two months for using discriminatory language on the touchline.
However, Gazzetta dello Sport is now reporting that tomorrow’s disciplinary findings are only likely to impose a two-match ban, applicable to next season’s Coppa.
Given that Mancini is not gay, Gazzetta reports, Sarri’s language would be considered just to be offensive, rather than discriminatory.
