Napoli boss suspended for Chelsea last-16 tie
Napoli coach Walter Mazzarri has been suspended from both legs of his side's UEFA Champions League tie with Chelsea after UEFA turned down his appeal against the ban.
The governing body confirmed the Italian would be banned for the match on February 21st in Naples and March 14th 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 the game in Spain on December 7th.
