Allegri had initially received a one-match ban for insulting officials following his side's 1-1 draw with Sampdoria this past weekend, though the club was immediate in their appeal of the decision.
Speaking during his pre-match press conference Wednesday, Allegri addressed the league's choice to overturn his ban:
.@OfficialAllegri: "Surprised by my touchline ban. I'm no saint, but I'd say my behaviour towards match officials has always been decent."
