The appeal board of the Spanish Football Federation have rejected an appeal by Real Madrid to reduce the ten-game sanction for Pepe.
The Portuguese defender was given the ban after his violent conduct in a game against Getafe at the Bernabeu last month.
After fouling Javier Casquero to concede a penalty he then proceeded to kick him and punch another player, before abusing the officials as he was being sent off.
It was reported that he was given two bans, each of four games, as well as a two-match suspension on top, for two acts of aggression.
This is the point that Madrid tried to argue in the latest appeal, as they claim that he committed one continuous act, rather than two distinct ones.
The appeal board has maintained though that he will have a four-game ban for the kicks on Javier Casquero, four for punching Juan Albin, one for insults towards officials, and another for the red card itself.
That means that he will still miss the remainder of this Primera Division season, and will also miss the first four matches of the next campaign.
The only appeal mechanism left for Madrid now is the Spanish Committee for Discipline in Sport, but the club are yet to decide whether they will take that option.
