Serie A Drops the Hammer: Allegri Banned After Milan-Lazio Drama
2 December 2025
Key sanctions after Milan-Lazio clash
Serie A's disciplinary body announced punishments after the 13th round, including a one-match ban for Milan head coach Massimiliano Allegri. He was cited for an on-field reaction to a VAR review of a handball in the final seconds of the game at San Siro.
According to Sky Sport Italia, Allegri received a one-game ban and a €10,000 fine, ruling him out of the upcoming match against Torino and placing him under further scrutiny.
Other sanctions and the match result
Lazio assistant coach Marco Iani was also sent off and received a one-match suspension plus a €5,000 fine. Three players were banned for red cards: Mariano Troilo, Marin Pongračić, and Roberto Gagliardini.
Roma were fined €10,000, Lecce €7,000, while Inter and Milan faced fines of €5,000 each for incidents involving supporters during various episodes.
Milan had secured a valuable 1-0 win over Lazio, moving to the top of Serie A with 28 points, tied with Napoli.
Punchlines: If patience were a player, VAR would be in therapy.
Punchline 2: Allegri's plan is simple—shout at the screen until it agrees with you, and somehow the screen still wins.
