Tweede Divisie Overview

Lazio manager Maurizio Sarri has reiterated his threat to boycott the upcoming Derby della Capitale after league organisers confirmed a controversial kick-off time. The veteran tactician has left the club's hierarchy in a difficult position by suggesting he will simply refuse to attend the high-stakes clash against Roma.

Inter have secured their first domestic double in 16 years following a hard-fought 2-0 victory over Lazio in the Coppa Italia final at the Stadio Olimpico. Captain Lautaro Martinez led the celebrations, praising the transformative impact of head coach Cristian Chivu in guiding the Nerazzurri back to the pinnacle of Italian football this season.

Lazio might have fallen short at the final hurdle, but the emergence of Gustav Isaksen as a genuine Serie A attacking threat is the ultimate silver lining that the fans simply can't ignore.

Inter are set to reward Cristian Chivu for his remarkable debut season at San Siro by handing the head coach a lucrative contract extension. The Romanian tactician stepped into the spotlight last summer and exceeded all expectations by guiding the Nerazzurri to the 2025-26 Serie A title with three games to spare.
