Conte and Inzaghi out: Why Napoli and Inter will be without their managers for Serie A finale

Head coaches of Napoli and Inter Milan, Antonio Conte and Simone Inzaghi, will both be absent from the touchline for their clubs' crucial final Serie A matches on Sunday, May 25. 

Both managers were sent off during their respective sides' encounters in the penultimate round on Sunday, meaning they will play no part in the decisive games that will determine the Scudetto winner.

Conte received a red card during Napoli's goalless draw away at Parma, and Football Italia reports that the Partenopei head coach had an altercation with players on the opposing side who were on the bench.

Parma's head coach, Christian Chivu, was also dismissed during the incident.

Meanwhile, Inter boss Inzaghi was also shown a red card in his team's 2-2 home draw against Lazio. 

The incident occurred after the ex-Lazio boss reacted to Marco Baroni's appeal for a VAR review following a handball incident in the 88th minute. 

The referee not only sent off Inzaghi but also awarded the capital club a penalty, which was subsequently converted by ex-Chelsea forward Pedro.

Napoli head into the final week one point clear of the Champions League finalists. 

Napoli are scheduled to play their final league game at home against Cagliari, while Inter will travel away to face in-form Como.
