For headbutting Tottenham assistant manager Joe Jordan,Gattuso Milan captaion has been banned for four matches.
The legal banned means he would not be available to team in Europe this season unless they make it to the Champions League final.
Former Rangers star Gattuso faces Jordan at the touchline following Milan's defeat by Spurs at the San Siro last week, grabbing the 59-year-old by the throat before aiming a headbutt at him.
On this act Gattuso later apologize but his agent, Claudio Pasqualin, claimed that Jordan, a former Milan player, had used provocative language towards the midfielder prior to their clash, calling him an "Italian b******".
ordan responded by saying: "To come up with something like that is pathetic. It is completely and utterly untrue and something so wildly inaccurate doesn't do him much credit."
Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has said he hoped the incident would not do too much harm to Gattuso.
Speaking before the punishment was announced, he said: "I dont know what happened.
"I've met him before and he was a great lad, I thought what a fantastic boy he was, but he just lost his head on the day."
Milan have confirmed they will be appealing the decision.
