Marco Baroni also received backing from the management despite Lazio’s exit from the Europa League quarter-finals.
Lazio sporting director Angelo Fabiani has confirmed Marco Baroni still has a future at the club despite the Rome Eagles’ Europa League quarter-final exit following a penalty shootout defeat to Bodo Glimt.
Baroni started สมัครสมาชิก UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีทุกวัน his tenure as Lazio manager in all competitions with great success but began to fade in the middle of the season, with the team crashing out of the Europa League in the last eight and now fighting for a Champions League place in the final six games of the season.
‘We have had a successful journey, it’s a pity, but losing on penalties is not a reason to change the manager. Let’s move on,’ Fabiani said.
Lazio had started the season incredibly well and won the Europa League table, but their European and domestic form had been stuttering for a while.
“There is pain tonight, both psychological and physical, as we gave it absolutely everything we had. Now we’ve got to recharge the batteries straight away. I told the lads at the final whistle that I was proud of them, but penalties are unpredictable.
“I told them before the game that we needed to do something extraordinary, and the performance was precisely that,” concluded Baroni.
However, Italian media reported that there are three candidates who have the opportunity to take over as Lazio coach from Baroni: Miroslav Klose, former Rome Eagles striker, Alberto Gilardino and Vincenzo Italiano, if the decision is made to sack the 61-year-old coach.
