Luciano Spalletti will sit out Inter Milan's Serie A game against Fiorentina at the San Siro on Tuesday after being given a one-match touchline ban by the Lega Serie A for his over-exuberant goal celebration at the weekend. Spalletti was sent to the stands for screaming towards the television camera after Croatia's World Cup runner-up Marcelo Brozovic scored a 94th minute winner against Sampdoria on Saturday.

An official match note said that the coach showed "a controversial attitude towards the fourth official". Spalletti had already been warned after the game for "offensive expressions" to the referee. The sending-off against Sampdoria, however, did not lead to an automatic disqualification, it was a decision of the sports judge. Inter have appealed and hope to have Spalletti back on the bench Tuesday at the San Siro against Fiorentina, as the appeal should be discussed before midday.
