Juventus coach Antonio Conte accepted his red card during their 1-0 win over Catania.
Conte and Rolando Maran were sent to the stands simultaneously before half-time in the Bianconeri's 1-0 victory.
"I think Mr Damato wanted to send a signal to the players on the field by sending off the Coaches and trying to calm things down. It was basically a warning, as he couldn't send the players off that early," Conte told Sky Sport Italia.
"Rolando and I both understood the situation and it wasn't an easy game to officiate, as it was very, very fiery on and off the field. Juve did well to keep our heads, so I am very proud of the lads."
