When he was at his first coaching role at FC Stia, he and one of his players drank three coffees one Sunday before a victory.He then forced that player to drink three coffees every Sunday for fear of breaking the spell.Sarri would also always light a cigarette after driving on a hairpin bend as he thought the next game would not go well if he didnt. In 2016, Napoli were on a 22 match unbeaten run at home and his superstition was always to be the last to enter the stadium.Roma boss Luciano Spalletti was told about this so he pretended to go and then hid.When Sarri was about to go out Spalletti appeared behind him and Napoli went on to lose 3-1.
