"Marco Piccinini has been named the referee for AC Milan's clash against Parma tomorrow, and after recent controversy, he will surely be under the spotlight. The refereeing situation in Italy appears to be at a breaking point, with multiple teams getting obvious wrong calls made against them. For Milan, the double yellow for Adrien Rabiot, the red card for Massimiliano Allegri, and the non-punished challenge on Strahinja Pavlovic are just a few examples."
"He has handed out two red cards to Milan in the process. The most recent one was for Santiago Gimenez, in the 3-1 defeat against Roma last season, when the Mexican elbowed Gianluca Mancini in the stomach. After a VAR check, the red was given. The first one also came after a VAR check, more specifically in Milan's 1-0 win away at Genoa, when Mike Maignan put in a nasty challenge on Caleb Ekuban."
Marco Piccinini has been appointed referee for AC Milan's match against Parma and will attract attention after recent contentious officiating in Italy.

He has issued two red cards to Milan after VAR checks and is not highly experienced.
