Now the Lega Serie A has confirmed that the French Coach will face a two-match ban for his actions for his actions.
“Roma Coach Rudi Garcia will be suspended for two rounds, effective immediately, for aggressive and intimidatory behaviour in a confrontation with a steward,” the League’s official disciplinary judgement confirmed.
Roma were fined €20,000 for failing to co-operate with an investigation into the incident, while defender Jose Holebas will be suspended for one game for making an insulting gesture toward Genoa fans.
Genoa were fined €30,000 for violent behaviour of fans, mitigated by the Grifone’s willingness to co-operate with police and the League in identifying those responsible.
Genoa player Diego Perotti will face a three match ban after video evidence showed the Argentinian kicking a Roma player at the end of the match.
Juventus Coach Massimiliano Allegri is also in trouble, and will be suspended for one match for insulting match officials following the Bianconeri’s draw with Sampdoria on Sunday.
Suspensions were also confirmed for Paolo Cannavro and Andrea Consigli of Sassuolo who were both sent off in the defeat to Palermo, while Torino’s Pontus Jansson, Mattia Perin of Genoa and Cesena player Massimo Volta will also be suspended for a week having been sent off.
Alessandro Agostini of Verona, Napoli defender Raul Albiol, Davide Astori of Roma, Juventus’ Leonardo Bonucci, Allan of Udinese, Roma’s Miralem Pjanic, Alessio Romagnoli of Sampdoria and Matias Vecino of Empoli will all face a one match suspension after picking up a fourth yellow card in the weekend’s fixtures.
