Allegri banned for Juventus reunion as Napoli lodge appeal

Napoli manager Massimiliano Allegri received a two-match suspension and a €10,000 fine from Serie A’s sporting judge following his dismissal against Roma. The punishment rules Allegri out of Napoli’s midweek trip to Monza on October 28 and their clash against his former club Juventus on November 1. However, Napoli officially confirmed they will appeal the ruling, seeking to have the ban reduced before the weekend.

The disciplinary action followed Allegri's late dismissal in a 3-3 draw with Roma, after Leonardo Balerdi scored a late equalizer. League officials noted insulting remarks directed toward match officials both during and after the game, alongside aggressive conduct toward an opposing club executive. Meanwhile, Juventus enter the fixture in seventh place following a 2-0 win over Lecce.
