In a dramatic twist, Maurizio Sarri is back at the helm of Lazio, just 15 months after his departure. The 66-year-old tactician replaces Marco Baroni, who guided the Serie A side to a respectable seventh-place finish last season—but fell short of securing European football.
Sarri, known for his tactical flair and no-nonsense attitude, previously stepped down in March 2024 following a troubling run of five defeats in six matches. His exit came amid public frustration over the club’s transfer strategy.
But now, Lazio is ready to rewrite that unfinished chapter.
Club president Claudio Lotito welcomed him with an emotional message:
“Maurizio Sarri has returned home. This is a decision driven by heart, conviction, and long-term vision. Together, we will reignite the fire, restore identity, and push for greatness.”
The former Chelsea and Juventus manager spent three years in charge during his first spell, and his comeback signals a renewed ambition in Rome. With Sarri’s tactical blueprint and uncompromising style, Lazio fans are hopeful of a new era filled with passion, progress, and potential European redemption.
