No action will be taken by the FIGC after they reviewed the footage that showed Juventus manager Max Allegri and fourth official Paolo Tagliavento talking after the Derby D’Italia on Saturday night, FIGC Procurator Giuseppe Pecoraro has confirmed..
The video showed Allegri speaking very highly of referee Daniele Orsato and ordering that he receive a promotion for his controversial performance in the game that Juventus won 3-2.
“No procedure will be opened, we have talked about it so much, maybe even uselessly. We have acquired the film, I have seen it and there is no procedure to open, for better or for worse,” Pecoraro told Rai Sport.
Orsato made a number of questionable decisions during the match with his decision to consult VAR and change Matias Vecino’s yellow card for a tackle on Juventus forward Mario Mandzukic to a red one being one of the most controversial. Orsato also proceeded to not send off an already booked Miralem Pjanic later in the game despite the Bosnian midfielder committing what many have deemed a series of yellow card offences.
