Lazio Director Confirms Marco Baroni’s Departure, Lists 10 Untouchable Stars

Lazio sporting director Angelo Fabiani explained why Marco Baroni is leaving the club after a single campaign in charge.

The Background

The former Lecce and Hellas Verona manager started his experience in the Italian capital on the right foot, but lost the plot somewhere down the line. Hence, the decision to part ways with the manager has been taken since the start of the week, but it will only be made official next Tuesday following a meeting with the 61-year-old legal team, reports La Lazio Siamo Noi.

Marco Baroni Asked to Leave?

But while confirming the imminent separation, Fabiani paints it as a mutual decision taken by both parties, and fueled by Baroni’s desire to leave the club. These are the director’s words as reported by Il Messaggero (via La Lazio Siamo Noi).

Baroni thought it was appropriate to leave for his own reasons, but Lazio were great on two fronts and fought for the Champions League until the bitter end. All it took was a few more points at the Olimpico.

Fabiani Reveals Lazio’s 10 Untouchables

Moreover, Fabiani denied Lazio’s desire to sell some of their most prized assets, while naming 10 players that are considered ‘untouchable’ by the club.

We will have a new coach, but the project with the young players will continue . We have a good foundation, we will not dismantle and reassemble. I will not sell any big names. Mandas, Gila, Romagnoli, Rovella, Guendouzi, Dele-Bashiru, Isaksen, Zaccagni, Dia and Castellanos will remain . The squad will only be trimmed with superfluous departures because 26 outfield players are too many for a single competition.

Which Lazio Players Could Leave

The source adds that Lazio will likely keep 19-20 outfielders for next season, while leaving the door open for the departure of one between Nuno Tavares and Luca Pellegrini. Furthermore, Patric and Loum Tchaouna could also head towards the exit door, and the club will certainly try to offload Toma Basic.
