Carlo Ancelotti's red card following Everton's draw with Manchester United on Sunday was his second of the season.
The Italian was dismissed by Chris Kavanagh after confronting the official following the full time whistle at Goodison Park, having seen what would have been a late winner for his side ruled out.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin's strike in added time deflected off Harry Maguire and went beyond David De Gea, but was eventually ruled out by VAR as Gylfi Sigurdsson was adjudged to be in an offside position and affecting play.
The Iceland international was brought down in the box in the lead up to the disallowed goal, but it was not deemed to be a clear and obvious error by those in Stockley Park.
Ancelotti later was sent off, but not for the first time this season.
The boss was also dismissed in Napoli's 2-2 draw at home to Atalanta in October amid similar VAR controversy.
The hosts appealed for a penalty when Fernando Llorente collided with Simon Kjaer, with the visitors going straight up the other end and equalising in the 86th minute through Josip Ilicic.
After a five-minute VAR review the goal stood without the on-pitch official, Pino Giacomelli, viewing the touchline monitor.
Ancelotti and his assistant were sent off for protesting the decision, with Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis later making fiery comments about the incident.
He told Sky Sport Italia [via the BBC ]: "Without us, the referees would be peeling potatoes.
"If there is VAR it's pointless creating eight minutes of additional time because all that happens is pushing and shouting.
"And what is this buffoonery from the referee [Pino Giacomelli] who kicks out a gentleman like Ancelotti? We're fed up. We're tired of paying for this standard of officiating."
The now- Everton manager also was keen to have his say after the match.
He remarked: "I consider what happened an attack on my professionalism, my players and my club."
Ancelotti now faces a potential charge from the FA following his dismissal on Sunday, the with association having three days to decide what punishment the Blues boss could face.
The boss could otherwise receive a warning, a reminder of his responsibilities or face no further action.
