Lazio head coach Maurizio Sarri spoke about his Roma counterpart Jose Mourinho after the 0-0 draw in the Rome derby.
"I crossed paths with him before the game. I told him that he was a pain in the arse. He replied: "For that matter, so are you!". I don't want to deal with Mourinho as a character in the media, but as a person he is great," Sarri said in a post-match flash interview.
It will be recalled that on the eve of the Serie A clash, Mourinho said that Sarri's achievements could not be compared to his own outstanding career.
