Maurizio Sarri RESIGNS from Lazio

Former Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has reportedly resigned from his role at Lazio after his side suffered a fourth straight defeat in all competitions to Udinese.

Lazio were beaten 2-1 in their Serie A clash on Monday, their 12th defeat from 28 games, leaving the team ninth in the table.

Now SportMediaSet, via the Sun, have reported that Sarri has walked from his role after the latest set-back to their campaign.

The report adds that the club have accepted his resignation due to his 'complicated' relationship with the president Claudio Lotito, adding that the club 'would have sacked him' later on if results didn't improve.

The frontrunners to replace Sarri are legendary former player Tommaso Rocchi - the club's youth team boss - and sporting director Igli Tare, the report claims.
