The Italian Association of Referees, the AIA, led by Gianluca Rocchi, has fired Serra for his attitude and behavior in Cremona during that fateful evening.
Referee Marco Serra is eager to return after the glaring mistake that penalized Milan against Spezia: “I barely slept that night, at most an hour on the couch. The error was born because I read the action with the wrong priorities and I lost sight of the whole picture. Now I aim to return to officiating Serie A games."
Milan were on the wrong end of a referee’s mistake in the loss to Spezia. At the 92nd minute, official Marco Serra blew the whistle too early on a foul for the Rossoneri, as Junior Messias hit the net seconds later. The Aquilotti managed to find a goal of their own later in the stoppage time.
