Coppa Italia suspension and a €20,000 fine for comments
made to Inter counterpart Roberto Mancini during their
quarter-final meeting on Tuesday.
Mancini and Sarri clashed on the touchline in the closing
stages of their encounter at the San Paolo after goals from
Stevan Jovetic and Adem Ljajic sent Inter into the last four
with a 2-0 win.
The Inter coach alleged after the game that Sarri had
directed Italian homophobic slurs "frocio" and "finocchio"
towards him - describing the Napoli boss as "shameful" and
"a racist".
Sarri, however, claimed he could not remember what he had
said and claimed Mancini's accusations were over the top.
On Thursday, Lega Serie A declared its disciplinary decision
to sanction the 57-year-old with a two-game ban and fine for
"directing extremely insulting epithets at the coach of the
opposing team".
Mancini also received a €5,000 fine for "leaving the technical
area and taking an intimidating attitude towards the coach
of the opposing team, who had insulted him" and being
"disrespectful" to the fourth official after the game.
Sarri will serve his suspension from next season following
Napoli's elimination from the competition.
