Italian media: Allegri will suspend and miss Italian Cup Milan vs Lecce

football-italia reported that Milan will face Lecce in the second round of the 2025-26 Cup of Italy on Tuesday night, but head coach Allegri will be unable to command the team on the sidelines in this game due to being suspended when coaching Juventus in 2024.

Milan will face Lecce at home in San Siro, with the game set to take place on Tuesday night. Why is Allegri suspended? Allegri was suspended for being sent off for being sent off for a red card in the Italian Cup final against Atalanta in 2024. In this game, Allegri lost control of his emotions on the sidelines, took off his coat, shouted at the fourth official, and applauded sarcastically after referee Fabio Maresca rejected Juventus' penalty appeal twice. The incident resulted in Allegri being fined 5,000 euros and being suspended for two Italian Cup matches.

Allegri was suspended while coaching Juventus, the suspension remains in effect after he became Milan's head coach. He had already executed his first ban against Barry in August, when Milan won 2-0. Now he will execute his second ban against Lecce on Tuesday night.
