Article body
AS Roma coach Fabio Capello has been suspended for one Italian league match and fined €750 for his behaviour during last week’s game against Torino Calcio.
Comments made
He was reported by the fourth official for comments made in protest to an assistant referee’s decision in the fixture on 6 January which Roma won 1-0 to take them to the top of Serie A. Capello will have to sit in the stands during this Saturday’s home fixture against Hellas-Verona FC.
Inter held
Roma went top of Serie A last weekend after previous leaders Internazionale FC lost ground with a goalless draw against S.S. Lazio. The capital club are also in the second group stage of the UEFA Champions League.
