Quotes
"I spoke to the team, an electric shock was needed. I said I would resign, but the team opposed it," Cagliari manager Claudio Ranieri said recently.
"We would all have had to fight, and I said 'okay, let's all fight to complete this mission'. After all the boys have asked me to go on and today, in fact, I will stay here.
"I feel good. I think that few people would have had the support of their players after Sunday's match. I was really down, but they cheered me up, they told me that we would have to fight together."

Napoli emerged as 2-1 winners over Cagliari in their last meeting in Serie A which was on 16 December 2023 at the Stadio Olimpico.
Therefore, the Little Donkeys are undefeated in their last six matches against Islanders in the Italian top-flight having recorded four wins and two draws.
