Inter Coach Roberto Mancini has received a one-match touchline ban for insulting the referee after their 2-1 defeat to Juventus on Sunday.
The tactician was furious that Alessandro Del Piero scored in the last five minutes with a free kick he claimed Pavel Nedved “dived” to earn.
“Mancini accosted referee Gianluca Paparesta after the final whistle and repeatedly shouted at him,” read the report from the Disciplinary Commission.
“He also loudly stated a vulgar insult about one of the opposition directors, who was also in the players’ tunnel at the time. As Mancini is not new to these incidents, he will also be fined £1,370.”
Juventus Vice-President Roberto Bettega has also been handed a £670 fine for his part in the fiery finale to this game.
It has not been made entirely clear what happened in the players’ tunnel on the way back to the locker rooms, as Dejan Stankovic closed the doors for a couple of minutes, leaving television cameras and the linesman outside.
Meanwhile, Inter star Luis Figo has been put under investigation for his allegations that Juve director general Luciano Moggi was in Paparesta’s office before the game.
“Figo’s accusations are serious, absolutely without foundation and downright false,” read a statement on the official Bianconeri website.
The Disciplinary Commission has suspended 14 players for Serie A Week 26. They are Tedesco (Reggina), Dainelli (Fiorentina), Zauri (Lazio), Codrea (Palermo), Biava (Palermo), Cambiasso (Inter), Samuel (Inter), Di Napoli, Storari (Messina), Sculli (Messina), Biondini (Reggina), Langella (Cagliari), Tudor (Siena) and Legrottaglie (Siena).
