Lazio and former head coach Maurizio Sarri have reached a complete agreement for the 66-year-old`s return to the Stadio Olimpico. This comes just over a year after Sarri`s resignation from the club.
A final agreement has been confirmed between Lazio and Sarri for a two-year contract. The deal also includes an option to extend for an additional 12 months.
Following a meeting between key parties in Tuscany, terms regarding the salary, which had previously been a minor point of discussion, have now been settled. The club and the returning head coach have also aligned on plans for the upcoming summer transfer window.
Sarri and Lazio Reunite After 15 Months
Sarri previously managed the Biancocelesti for nearly three seasons, from 2021 to 2024. He submitted his resignation in March of last year, following a challenging period and a poor run of results at the Stadio Olimpico.
His return is now anticipated just 15 months after his departure.
Reports suggest Sarri is expected to have increased involvement in transfer decisions during this second spell. For instance, it is understood that he will only approve the departure of a key player if a suitable replacement has been secured beforehand.
