Napoli coach Walter Mazzarri is banned from both legs of his side's Champions League last-16 tie against Chelsea.

Napoli coach Walter Mazzarri has been banned from both legs of his side's Champions League last-16 tie against Chelsea.

The 50-year-old picked up the suspension for pushing Villarreal forward Nilmar during a match in December.

After an initial two-match ban, UEFA increased their punishment to three games. However, the third fixture is suspended for two years.

Mazzarri is banned from the touchline and the dressing room and is not allowed to communicate to his players before or during the match in any way.

The first leg is at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday.
