Officially, Lazio has accepted Maurizio Sarri's resignation and appointed Giovanni Martusciello as the new head coach.

Lazio has announced that Maurizio Sarri has left his position as head coach, with Giovanni Martusciello stepping in to fill the role. Sarri took charge of Lazio in July 2021, and during his tenure, he led the team in 137 matches, securing 65 wins, 30 draws, and 42 losses. Under his guidance, the team achieved fifth and second places in Serie A, and also made it to the Champions League playoffs.

It's important to note that Maurizio Sarri submitted his resignation voluntarily, rather than being dismissed from his position.

In the upcoming match, the team will be led by Giovanni Martusciello, who previously served as Sarri's assistant in the Lazio staff. In addition, the 52-year-old professional has worked on the coaching staffs of Luciano Spalletti and Marco Giampaolo, but he lacks independent coaching experience.

Currently, after the 28th round of Serie A, Lazio is in ninth place in the league table, trailing the European qualification zone by 4 points. Additionally, the "Eagles" are set to face Juventus in the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia.
