Why Spalletti is not on the Juventus bench vs. Lazio and who replaces him
Story updated
The story in brief
33-second readJuventus coach Luciano Spalletti is serving a one-game ban for tonight’s Serie A match against Lazio and is replaced by his assistant, Marco Domenichini. Spalletti received a red card after Juventus’ most recent Serie A match against Cagliari last Sunday.
The Italian tactician confronted his counterpart, Fabio Pisacane, and both were shown straight reds, resulting in a one-game suspension. The Serie A sports judge has said that Spalletti “adopted a provocative attitude towards the opposing team coach, creating tension between the members of the two benches.”
Spalletti held a pre-match press conference on the eve of the game against Lazio, but is not on the bench at the Allianz Stadium tonight and is not expected to talk to the media at full-time.
