Gianluca Rocchi will once again have the weekend away from the spotlight after the Italian Referees’ Association announced the officials for Week 8.
Rocchi was not assigned a match last weekend, after drawing criticism for his handling of Juventus’ 3-2 victory over Roma on October 5.
The official awarded three penalties in the game and handed out red cards to Kostas Manolas of Roma and Alvaro Morata of Juventus, as well as sending Roma Coach Rudi Garcia to the stands.
