Allegri Red Carded After Fabregas Confrontation

AC Milan coach Max Allegri was sent off in the 81st minute of a 1-1 draw with Como after confronting Cesc Fabregas over a shirt-pull incident.

Allegri lost his temper after Fabregas pulled Alexis Saelemaekers' shirt, confronting the Spanish coach on the sideline. The referee immediately showed Allegri a red card. The former Juventus boss reportedly lashed out at Fabregas, calling him an "idiot" and a "kid who started coaching yesterday." Fabregas subsequently apologized for his unsportsmanlike gesture, admitting he was "so excited" that he touched the ball.
