With Serie A concluded, there is a prospect of new musical chairs on the part of the coaches.
Key details
Maurizio Sarri is leaving Lazio and president Claudio Lotito has already reached an agreement with Gennaro Gattuso to take over technical command of the team, according to Fabrizio Romano, a journalist specializing in transfers. The departure of Sarri, who has a contract for another two years, appears imminent, with only a meeting between the coach and the president awaited to finalize the terms of his termination.
After the 2-1 victory over Pisa at the Olympic Stadium, Sarri vented, stating: “I wasn’t heard.” The coach now hopes to be called to Formello to express his dissatisfaction with the course of a season that he considered “very complicated” and negotiate his departure, which would allow him to move to Atalanta. Meanwhile, Lotito advanced in negotiations with his successor. After several telephone contacts in recent days, a new meeting this morning resulted in a principle of agreement with Gattuso. The former Italian coach, who has managed clubs such as Napoli and Milan, is expected to sign a contract valid for two seasons, keen to return to club football in Italy after a troubled experience with the national team.
Napoli will also have a new coach next season. Antonio Conte’s departure has already been made official and, according to Gazzetta dello Sport, the chosen one to succeed is… Allegri, who is on the ropes at Milan, after failing to qualify for the UEFA Champions League.
