TURIN, Italy (AP) — Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri was fined 10,000 euros ($11,000) Tuesday for disrespecting the referee and his assistants in their locker room after the Italian league match at Genoa.
Allegri was given the fine by Italy’s sports judge.
The 56-year-old Allegri was mad at refereeing decisions during Juventus’ 1-1 draw at Genoa on Friday and went to the officials’ dressing room to protest “at first with a calm tone” and then “in a disrespectful way,” according to the judge’s statement.
It added that the incident only ended when the referee asked Allegri to leave.
