Lega Serie A suspends Tedesco and Gaetano following disciplinary reviews
Summary

The Lega Serie A disciplinary commission issued bans on Monday following the completion of Week 3 matches. Bologna coach Domenico Tedesco received a two-match suspension and a €5,000 fine for insulting officials after the club's 2-2 draw with Sassuolo. Bologna President Joey Saputo was also suspended until September 30 for using offensive language toward referees on the touchline and in the stadium tunnel. Separately, Atalanta midfielder Gianluca Gaetano was handed a one-match ban and a €10,000 fine for his conduct following the club's loss to Roma. Gaetano was issued a red card at the final whistle, though Atalanta coach Maurizio Sarri disputed the claims of insults during the incident.
