Napoli win Serie A as Scott McTominay's sensational goal helps Antonio Conte makes scudetto history (video)
There was a Premier League flavor to Napoli's scudetto-clinching 2-0 win over Cagliari on Friday, as Scott McTominay and Romelu Lukaku scored to give the Neapolitans a second Serie A title in three seasons.
The ex-Manchester United men were joined on the field by Chelsea export Billy Gilmour, ex-Fulham man Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa, and eventually former Bournemouth leader Philip Billing as Napoli finished their domestic campaign with 82 points.
MORE — List of all-time Serie A winners
That's one more than last season's champions Inter Milan, who also won Friday. Inter now turn their attention to the upcoming UEFA Champions League Final versus Paris Saint-Germain in Munich.
Serie A's first- and second-place teams closed their domestic seasons on Friday, with two more matches planned for Saturday and the remaining six held at 2:45pm ET Sunday.
Napoli manager Antonio Conte has now led three teams to scudetti after winning times with Juventus and once with Inter. He's also coached Bari to a Serie B crown and Chelsea to a Premier League Trophy.
Conte is the first to win scudetti with three teams and his five Serie A crowns tie Fabio Capello and Marcello Lippi for third-most all-time. Max Allegri (six) and Giovanni Trapattoni (seven) lead the way.

Official – Botafogo Announce The Signing Of Argentina Flop From Inter Milan On Two-Year Contract Botafogo have announced the signing of Argentine center-forward Joaquin Correa from Inter Milan on a two-year deal. The Brazilian giants took to Twitter via FCInterNews to unveil the 30-year-old as their new acquisition.

(@Botafogo) June 10, 2025 Advertisement Joaquin Correa However, it's been a while since the ex-Sevilla star last had a major role on the grandest stage. Indeed, his four-year stint at San Siro was a complete disaster. Botafogo Sign Joaquin Correa from Inter Milan on Two-Year Deal MILAN, ITALY – FEBRUARY 25: Joaquin Correa of FC Internazionale gestures during the Coppa Italia, Quarter Final match between FC Internazionale and SS Lazio at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on February 25, 2025 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) Despite swapping Lazio for Inter as one of Serie A's best forwards in 2021, Correa's career in Lombardy never took off. Inter tried to help the Argentine get back on track by sending him out on a season-long loan to Olympique Marseille in 2023/24. However, Correa flopped in Ligue 1 as Les Olympiens refused to sign him permanently the following summer. He spent most of the 2024/25 campaign as a marginal figure at Giuseppe Meazza.

In total, he made 99 appearances for the 20-time Italian champions, racking up 12 goals and nine assists.

Les Snead reveals his favorite trade as Rams' GM
Les Snead reveals his favorite trade as Rams' GM Les Snead has been a part of a lot of trades since he took over as the Los Angeles Rams' general manager in 2012. Some of them helped turn the Rams into perennial contenders, while other smaller deals didn't amount to much. But throughout his 13 seasons with the team, Snead says his favorite trade was the first one he did in 2012 when the Rams traded away the No. 2 overall pick in the draft to Washington, who took Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III with the pick. In return, the Rams received three first-round draft picks and a second-round pick. "To be a rookie GM and be a part of pulling that off," Snead told CBS Sports' Ryan Wilson and ex-Titans GM Ran Carthon, "that shows you there's a lot of luck in this." While the Rams only got four picks from Washington, they parlayed them into eight players by the end: DT Michael Brockers, CB Janoris Jenkins, RB Isaiah Pead, OL Rokevious Watkins, LB Alec Ogletree, WR Stedman Bailey, RB Zac Stacy and OT Greg Robinson. Some players worked out better than others, but Griffin III didn't really pan out for Washington, either. As Snead says, it's a testament to how hard it is to draft in the NFL. Fortunately for the Rams, Snead and company have figured out a good scouting strategy that has resulted in some awesome players for L.A. in recent years.

Tottenham asked to reinstate Ange Postecoglou as head coach by Melbourne mayor
The mayor of one of Australia's biggest cities has asked Tottenham Hotspur to 'reconsider' their decision to sack head coach Ange Postecoglou, adding they risk being 'known as the team that is allergic to silverware'. The 59-year-old Postecoglou, who was born in Greece but grew up in Melbourne in the Australian state of Victoria, was relieved of his duties by Tottenham on Friday after two seasons at the helm. Advertisement He led Spurs to their first trophy in 17 years when they won the Europa League on May 21 but oversaw a league campaign that ended with a 17th-place finish and 22 losses, both record lows for the club in the Premier League era. Postecoglou spent the majority of his playing career with South Melbourne FC — a club founded by Greek immigrants and originally known as South Melbourne Hellas — and was head coach of the team between 1996 and 2000. After leading Australia at the 2014 World Cup and winning the 2015 Asian Cup as head coach of the national team, Postecoglou remains popular in his home city and nation, with Lord Mayor of Melbourne Nicholas Reece even taking the step to publicly urge Tottenham to reverse their decision. 'On behalf of the people of Melbourne, and Premier League fans around the world, I call on Tottenham Hotspur to reconsider its decision to sack coach Ange Postecoglou,' said Mr Reece in a post on Instagram. 'In Melbourne we have followed Ange's career closely for decades. 'Never underestimate Ange's determination to win, and his ability to carry teams to greatness. We have seen this time again over his career. This year Tottenham made history by winning the Europa League trophy — its first such win in 17 years. We will see further trophies if Ange is given the chance. 'Don't let Tottenham be known as the team that is allergic to silverware. Let Ange lead the players onto greatness in next year's Premier League campaign.' Mr Reece is a member of Australia's Labor Party and assumed his role in July 2024, before retaining it in the 2024 Melbourne City Council election. Tottenham are yet to confirm Postecoglou's replacement. The Athletic reported on Monday that the club had contacted Brentford as they seek to reach an agreement to appoint Thomas Frank as head coach.
