ESPN journo Liam Twomey is reporting what made Maurizio Sarri so angry that he was sent off at Stamford Bridge during Monday night’s fiery clash with Burnley in the Premier League.
The writer claims that Sarri says he was called a “shit Italian” by people on the Burnley matchday staff. That has been told to the FA in a report from Chelsea filed after the match.
I’m told Sarri was riled by multiple individuals on the Burnley bench repeatedly calling him “Shit Italian” prior to his sending off & the touchline brawl between the clubs at FT.

The coach was sent off by the ref Kevin Friend after getting into an argument with the opposing bench.
He then didn’t come to the post match press conference, with Gianfranco Zola revealing he had been “offended” by something.
It seems we now know what.
We expect action to be taken against those staff members, if evidence is found. We will keep you updated here.
