Mazzarri: Appeal rejected

Mazzarri: Appeal rejected

The governing body confirmed the Italian would be banned for the match on February 21 in Naples and March 14 at Stamford Bridge.

They rejected his appeal against his two-match suspension for improper conduct at the Champions League Group A game against Villarreal in December and added a third game, suspended for a probationary period of two years.

A statement from UEFA read: "SSC Napoli coach Walter Mazzarri will be banned from carrying out his duties in both legs of the UEFA Champions League tie against Chelsea FC after a decision by UEFA's Appeals Body."

Mazzarri clashed with Villarreal striker Nilmar during a game in Spain on December 7.
