Daniele Doveri sent off Napoli head coach Antonio Conte in Sunday’s intense Serie A showdown against Inter Milan.
According to Corriere della Sera via FCInter1908, Conte’s reaction to Inter’s penalty has left Serie A referees fuming.
Hakan Calhanoglu converted another penalty as Inter and Napoli drew 2-2 at San Siro last weekend.
Indeed, Amir Rrahmani’s cynical challenge on Henrikh Mkhitaryan sent the 31-year-old midfielder to the spot.
Despite initially refusing to award Inter a penalty, Daniele Doveri changed his mind after reviewing the incident with VAR.

Though it was a clear-cut penalty, it didn’t sit well with Antonio Conte.
Instead, the famous coach had another touchline tantrum, forcing Doveri to give him the marching orders.
As a result, the former Juventus and Inter manager is now facing a two-game ban in Serie A.
Furthermore, referees are expecting the Sports Judge to punish Conte for his unprofessional behavior.
They want the governing body to make an example of the 56-year-old, whose antics have become intolerable.
