ROME (Reuters) - Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri said on Saturday that he felt more pressure before a third-division derby match than he does ahead of his first clash with rivals AS Roma.

The two capital clubs lock horns in Serie A at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday in what will be Sarri's first taste of one of the fiercest derbies in European football, but the former Chelsea and Juventus manager is showing no signs of nerves.
