Maurizio Sarri makes sensational Lazio return | OneFootball

Maurizio Sarri has been confirmed as the new Lazio boss.

Sarri returns to Stadio Olimpico just 18 months after he resigned from his duties with the club in March 2024.

The former Chelsea tactician has been out of work since then, being heavily linked with a number of jobs over the summer.

Sarri however, has opted to go back to the Biancocelesti with the capital outfit having finished seventh in Serie A last term.

His arrival follows the departure of Marco Baroni, who left the club earlier on Monday after just 12 months at the helm.

Lazio are just one of the sides hiring a new coach following the resumption of the 2024/25 campaign, with Atalanta, Roma and Milan all going for new managers.
