Lazio have parted ways with former Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri, with ex-Italy boss Gennaro Gattuso set to replace him in Rome.
Gattuso failed to qualify for the World Cup with Italy thanks to a play-off defeat at the hands of Bosnia-Herzegovina.
But as Italian media reports suggest that Sarri will take over Atalanta in the near future, former Rangers midfielder Gattuso is set to take charge at Lazio.
Sarri ends his second stint with the capital club after one season, which concluded with a Coppa Italia final defeat by Inter Milan and a ninth-place finish in Serie A.
His brief return contrasted sharply with Sarri’s initial three-year tenure from 2021 to 2024, during which he had guided the side to a runners-up finish in the league in 2023 before leaving due to family matters.
Gattuso, 48, began his coaching career in Switzerland and has Serie A experience with AC Milan, Napoli and Fiorentina.
The change comes days after AC Milan parted company with manager Massimiliano Allegri, a day after the Serie A season ended.
In a busy chain of events in Italy, Antonio Conte also confirmed he will leave Napoli.
