The Sarri-Mancini affair, which enlivened this week of the Italian Cup, ends as it was in the air: the sacrosanct disqualification for the Napoli coach after the dispute with his Inter colleague arrives on time, but for two days and to be served in the Cup Italy, therefore in the next season, given that Napoli has been eliminated. The sports judge Gianpaolo Tosel also imposed a fine of twenty thousand euros for the same reason: "for having heavily insulted" Mancini. The Nerazzurri coach was instead fined 5.000 euros.
Gianpaolo Tosel, after reading the referees' report (the match director Valeri did not attend the dispute, but the fourth official Di Bello was there) issued the verdict and acquitted Sarri of what is the heaviest accusation leveled against him from Mancini: that of being "a racist". Despite the media drumbeats that have amplified everything and more, from racism to misogyny, throwing even Sarri's education into the debate, the lexicon of the blue coach should have been categorized as an "impetus insult" and nothing more.
The sports judge decided on the basis of the inspectors' reports federal and on the referee report: Sarri was in fact disqualified “for having, in the 47th minute of the second half, addressed the coach of the opposing team with heavily insulting epithets; offense detected by the fourth official and by the collaborators of the federal prosecutor's office". Sarri's words were therefore not considered sexual discrimination.
On the other hand, Mancini was fined 5.000 euros for having, again in the 47th minute of the second half of the quarter-final of the Coppa Italia Napoli-Inter, “kept an intimidating attitude towards the coach of the opposing team who had insulted him; also for having, at the end of the match, in the locker room, addressed a disrespectful expression to the Fourth Official”.
