Sharing is caring


Lazio have appointed Croatian Igor Tudor as their new manager after Maurizio Sarri’s resignation.

Sarri resigned on Wednesday after a fifth defeat in six games.

Following Sarri’s departure, assistant coach Giovanni Martusciello was in charge of Saturday’s 3-2 win at Frosinone.

Tudor spent last season with Marseille, finishing third in Ligue 1, and has managed Udinese and Hellas Verona in Serie A.

He also played in the Italian top flight for Juventus between 1998 and 2007.

Tudor’s first game in charge is on 30 March when Lazio, ninth in Serie A with a four-point gap to the European qualifying places, host Juventus.

They also face Juve in the two-legged semi-finals of the Italian Cup next month.
