Inter Milan coach ANTONIO CONTE received a two-match ban and fined 20,000 euros ($24,000) for verbally threatening the referee after last weekend’s Serie A stalemate at Udinese.

The former Juventus and Chelsea manager was handed a red card after 90 minutes in the goalless draw, believing referee FABIO MARESCA had not added on enough stoppage time where Inter missed the chance to move level on points with leaders of AC Milan. 

Inter team technical manager GABRIELE ORIALI was also fined 5,000 euros, and given a one-match ban.

ANTONIO CONTE will miss their next two league games against Benevento and Fiorentina.
