Massimiliano Allegri has dropped his appeal after the Napoli-Roma sanction, leaving him with two match bans and a €10,000 fine. Sky Sport Italia says the punishment is his eighth fine since the 2021/22 season, and that his total bill has risen to €85,000. He also goes to the top of the five-year Serie A coaches' fines ranking.
Allegri's decision on the appeal
Speaking to Sky Sport Italia, Allegri said: "I decided to give up the appeal. You never know, maybe instead of two match bans I get four. So let’s stop at two"
That is the clearest new development in the story. Allegri is not trying to push the sanction into a longer legal fight, and the numbers around it are already heavy enough: eight fines since 2021/22, with the latest one adding €10,000 to a five-year total that now stands at €85,000.
The fines ranking around him
The ranking puts Allegri above the other high-profile names in the list. Sky Sport Italia says Gian Piero Gasperini is on €50,000, José Mourinho on €40,000 and Simone Inzaghi on €25,000.
The count also includes sanctions in Serie A and the Italian Super Cup, while Coppa Italia sanctions are excluded. Bans served in the Super Cup can carry over to the league, which helps explain why the total is broader than one competition alone.
For Juventus, the immediate point is simple enough. Allegri's latest punishment stands, his appeal is gone, and the five-year tally now reads €85,000.
