Ricardo Lavolpe will not be on the sidelines for Atlas' next three matches.

The club's manager was sent off during Atlas' 0-0 draw with San Luis in Jornada 7. After the weekend's games were complete, the Mexican Football Federation's Disciplinary Committee slapped Lavolpe with a three-match suspension.

According to the FMF, Lavolpe called the official a derogatory term after he was shown a red card.
