Genoa director Diego Lopez receives two-week suspension after referee confrontation

Genoa sporting director Diego Lopez has been suspended for two weeks following his conduct after a defeat to Napoli on August 22. Lopez entered the pitch after the match, contested a refereeing decision aggressively, and obstructed the referee from closing his dressing room door. The incident stemmed from Kevin De Bruyne's disputed goal, which led to Genoa's 2-0 loss. Genoa's coach Daniele De Rossi expressed his frustration with the officiating, claiming the foul should have been called. Serie A's officiating authority upheld the referee's decisions, asserting no errors were made.
