Jose Mourinho has prepared for Sunday’s Derby della Capitale in typical fashion by poking a gentle dig at Lazio boss Maurizio Sarri.
The two former Chelsea head coaches go head-to-head this weekend as Mourinho and Roma hope to get one over their fiercest rivals in their battle to secure a top-four finish. The Giallorossi go into the derby in seventh place, but can leapfrog their neighbours and move closer to Juventus, who currently occupy the final Champions League spot.
But Mourinho has joked that Sarri and his Lazio side have had the ideal preparation, whilst Roma were left to sweat in the Europa Conference League. The Italian side booked their place in the quarter finals on Thursday, with Tammy Abraham scoring a 90th minute goal to secure a 2-1 aggregate victory over Vitesse.
