Lazio coach Sarri admitted to hospital

There are currently few details available about Sarri’s condition, but the Italian newspaper reports that Sarri fell ill this morning and is undergoing medical tests at the hospital.

Sarri returned to Lazio just a few weeks ago

Sarri returned to Lazio only a few weeks ago, signing a two-year contract with an option for a further campaign.

The 66-year-old is a Serie A winner with Juventus and also won the Europa League with Chelsea in the 2018-19 season.

Unfortunately, he’s not the only Serie A coach dealing with health issues these days, as his colleague Ivan Juric of Atalanta missed the first day of pre-season on Tuesday due to inflammation of the upper respiratory tract and is also in hospital.

Lazio haven’t yet released any official statement regarding Sarri’s condition.
