Lazio started their coaching search after Maurizio Sarri stepped down, and Gennaro Gattuso is considered a strong candidate for the future. Giovanni Martusciello will guide them versus Frosinone. They might need a different caretaker manager because the rest of the staff has resigned too, Tuttomercatoweb informs.
The former Milan and Napoli gaffer lasted only a few months on the Marseille bench, registering five wins, six draws, and five losses. He managed Valencia for 18 matches last year.
Lazio are also setting up some future transfer market moves on top of tending to the future of their dugout. They earmarked Nicolò Zaniolo. The attacker didn’t pan out at Aston Villa and will be sent back to Galatasaray. He could depart again with a favorable formula.
The Biancocelesti haven’t gotten a firm answer from Felipe Anderson yet and will likely move on from Pedro. Milan, Fiorentina, and Napoli are also monitoring the former Giallorosso.
According to Corriere dello Sport, the capital club is in talks with Igor Tudor. If the negotiation goes well, he could be hired early next week. Instead, if they wait until the end of the season, Sergio Conceiçao, Lionel Scaloni, Raffaele Palladino, and Alberto Gilardino would make their wish list.
Our Take on Lazio
It’d be full circle for Zaniolo to join Roma’s rivals. Despite their previous ties with the team, it’s very far-fetched they’ll be able to persuade the Porto boss and the World Cup champion.
