AC Milan manager Massimiliano Allegri has had his two-match touchline ban upheld by the IFF.

Allegri was handed the ban after criticising the referee's performance in his side's 2-1 loss to Udinese on Sunday.

The match saw Milan reduced to nine man after both Cristian Zapata and Kevin-Prince Boateng were dismissed.

Allegri's ban means that he will miss his side's match against Cagliari today as well as this weekend's trip to Parma.

The news is the latest blow to Allegri, who has seen his side win just one of their opening four games, losing the other three.
