Catania coach Sinisa Mihajlovic cannot believe he is banned from the touchline for today's clash with former club Lazio.

Mihajlovic must sit in the stands tomorrow afternoon after he was punished for walking into the referee's locker room 'with an aggressive attitude.'

"My ban is ridiculous," slammed the former Biancocelesti player.

"I do not usually go into the referee's room. I simply said goodbye in the corridor and had nothing to complain about. I even defended their work during the post-match interviews.

"I guess this means from now on I won't say a word or even look at them. I cannot be expected to pay the price for someone who gets so easily offended.

"I made my pledge that I will never be sent off for dissent again."
