Gervasoni promoted Manganiello after Inter v Atalanta controversy

The penalty not awarded to Inter for a foul by Scalvini on Frattesi in the closing stages of Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Atalanta at San Siro remains contentious two days on. Referee Gianluca Manganiello will be suspended for a few Serie A matchdays, as will those in the VAR room in Lissone: Gariglio and Chiffi.

Despite the suspensions, Gariglio was the AVAR for Como v Roma on Sunday and Chiffi — an international official frequently used by UEFA as a Video Match Official — was the VAR for Lazio v Milan.

The appointment of the match officials was proposed by Andrea Gervasoni, deputy to the referee coordinator Gianluca Rocci and a member of the CAN (National Referees’ Committee); the vote was around 8.50 — in school terms, that would be a 7. Rather than angry, Rocchi seems despondent and disheartened.
