Sarri insults his former fans then directs Lazio to win over defending champ Napoli

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 04:02:33 GMT

ROME (AP) — Former Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri reacted with an offensive gesture toward the local fans when Lazio’s train arrived in the southern city on Friday.On Saturday, the bespectacled manager who likes to quote Charles Bukowski made a much bigger impression in his former stadium when he directed Lazio to a 2-1 win that ended Napoli’s perfect start to Serie A.Lazio lost both of its opening matches after finishing second to Napoli last season — albeit 16 points behind the runaway champion.Sarri, who coached Napoli from 2015-18 for his first job with a major team after decades with provincial clubs, restored a winning mentality to the Partenopei that was crowned when Luciano Spalletti coached Victor Osimhen and Co. to Napoli’s first title in more than three decades last season.Now he’s trying to achieve the same thing at Lazio, which last won Serie A nearly a quarter of a century ago.Sarri also coached Lazio to a win at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in March — one of only two ho...

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 04:02:33 GMT

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Alex Palou has been on cruise control all season as he’s chased a second IndyCar championship in three years. He’s had almost no bad luck — save for a pit lane incident that likely cost him the Indianapolis 500 — and has packed four wins into this impressive season.The Spaniard hasn’t had a single mechanical problem, has completed all but two laps this season and hasn’t finished lower than eighth through 15 races.So the math headed into Sunday’s penultimate race of the season is clear: A podium finish at Portland International Raceway secures Palou the title no matter what happens with Scott Dixon, his Chip Ganassi Racing teammate and the only other driver who can claim the championship.With a 74-point lead and two races remaining on the season, if Palou leads Dixon by 54 points at the end of Sunday, he will cruise into next week’s finale in Monterey, California, with his second title already in hand.The problem? It’s D...
