A very tense face-to-face confrontation at the end of Cagliari-Juventus, with the two coaches, Luciano Spalletti and Fabio Pisacane, who faced each other face to face and, after being separated by the intervention of the fourth official, were both sent off by the referee Marcenaro .

The nervous one between the two, perhaps for not having managed to take home the full prize, was Spalletti, who had already gone to confront Mina at the end of the first half.

There was no final embrace at the final whistle; in fact, a brawl almost broke out. Spalletti rushed toward his colleague and, during the handshake, accused Cagliari of wasting time. Pisacane touched his arm and replied, “What time? What time?” The Juventus coach was furious; first he seemed to tell Pisacane to take his hand off his arm, then he moved even closer, almost getting a head-to-head .

So much so that Pisacane himself, when he saw the red flag waved in his face, said to Marcenaro in front of the Dazn cameras: "But what did I do?"

"It could have ended in a hug, but that didn't happen. And I'm sorry. Juventus deserved the draw and maybe even the win, but we're talking about different budgets and objectives," Pisacane said after the match. "What we saw at the end of the first half wasn't pleasant either (the Spalletti-Mina clash, ed.), but if Juventus is worried about not winning in Cagliari on Matchday 6, it means we're on the right track."

This is the Juventus coach's reconstruction: "I told Pisacane: 'Well done, but you're also good at wasting time.' And he asked me for explanations, and nothing happened. We didn't do anything wrong."

Pending the decision of the sports judge, it is certain that the coaches will miss the next matchday, which features Juventus-Lazio and Monza-Cagliari.
