(Reuters) - Juventus players will be fined and suspended for one month if they follow Andrea Pirlo's example by going straight to the dressing-room after being substituted, coach Antonio Conte said on Tuesday.

Pirlo himself, however will not be sanctioned for his behaviour in Sunday's 2-1 win over Hellas Verona, when he walked straight past the team bench and into the tunnel after being replaced in the 65th minute.
