Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri has been suspended for two games because of his behavior towards referees in the cup final

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri was suspended for two games and fined 5,000 euros ($5,400) by the Serie A league judge on Thursday for his behavior during the Italian Cup final.

Allegri lost his temper in stoppage time when he became angry over a decision, ripped off his jacket and received a red card for sarcastically applauding the referee. Juventus beat Atalanta 1-0 on Wednesday to clinch the title, in what may have been Allegri’s last major game against the club.
