The Serie B Sports Judge has published an official note detailing the sanctions imposed for the sixth day of the championship. The decisions affect both clubs and individuals, with fines, suspensions and fines impacting the next matches of the teams involved.
The Avellino club received a fine of €2,000.00 for allowing a fan to throw a firecracker into the playing area in the 16th minute of the first half. The sanction was mitigated based on the art. 29, paragraph 1, letter b) of the Sports Gaming Code, as the responsibility was considered partial. In a similar case, the Carrarese club was fined €2,000.00 for strict liability, as it delayed the start of the first half by approximately two minutes, violating the championship's punctuality rules.
As for the players, Hellas Verona's Andriasson was disqualified for one match day after receiving two warnings for inappropriate behavior on the pitch. Pezzella Giuseppe, from Cremonese, also suffered the same suspension for a double warning for incorrect behavior towards an opponent. These sanctions mean that the two players will not be able to participate in the next match, with repercussions on their team.
On the technical front, Stefano Stefaneli, coach of Juve Stabia, was disqualified for two match days. The cause was an intimidating challenge to the referee at the end of the match, in which he made a disrespectful expression to the referee. The Fourth Official detected the infraction, leading to the suspension of two matches. This decision could affect the management of the team in the coming weeks, as the club will have to find a temporary replacement for the coaching role.
Sanctions are applied to ensure compliance with championship rules and safety during matches. The teams affected will have to adapt to the new provisions before the next match, while the disqualified players will have to wait for their suspensions to end before being able to return to the field. For teams, managing substitutions and human resources will be crucial to maintaining competitiveness in the following days.
