Exemplary punishment for Juan Luca Sacchi! The Italian referee was penalized by the organizing authority as he suffered a serious foul before his cross Lecce-Sassuolo.
Specifically, Mr Poke as he went to meet the assistants and players at the entrance of the bellows to get everyone out on the pitch together, he greeted all but one person.
The Italian referee greeted his male assistant, then the Lecce captain, Turntablewhile ignoring his female assistant, who shook his hand but remained staring in wonder.
L’arbitro Luca #Sacchi non da la mano all’assistente donna Francesca #DiMonte
Brutto episodio prima di #LecceSassuolo. Sacchi refuses to stringere la mano all’assistente donna, leaving Di Monte probably with il cuore gonfio di anger, considering il suo sguardo sdegnato pic.twitter.com/0SuLboruJl— La Bussola TV (@LaBussolaTV) October 7, 2023
The incident has caused embarrassment to the Italian Referees Association, with the referee himself telling “ANSA” yesterday that it was not any form of sexist discrimination, a statement that failed to convince enough people.
In fact, “Corriere della Sera” reports today how Sacchi will be banned from action for at least one match, after the referee Gianluca Rocchi scolded the 38-year-old referee in private for his behavior!
