Violent conduct towards coaching staff - should it receive a heftier punishment?

[AB Editor]

Is Genaro Gattuso's vile attack on Spurs coach Joe Jordan being mistaken as "passion"? Do you believe that the ex-AC Milan player really uttered an "ethnic slur" as Guttuso's agent has claimed? Should a ban for his conduct also apply to domestic league football, not just the Champions League?

i remember paolo di canio in the 90's with his ban for pushing the referee.

An assault on another person is a criminal offence. Why do footballers think they can get away with it?
