Former Italy coach Gennaro Gattuso, who left the national team after it failed to qualify for the World Cup, has joined Lazio as manager, the Serie A club announced on Tuesday.
Lazio parted ways with manager Maurizio Sarri in May after finishing ninth in the Italian top flight and losing the Italian Cup final to Inter Milan.

“The club warmly welcomes its new manager and is confident that his experience, professionalism and determination will help the club achieve its sporting objectives,” Lazio said in a statement.
Gattuso, 48, previously led Napoli to the Italian Cup title in 2020.
Italy have not appointed a permanent manager since Gattuso’s departure, while Silvio Baldini has been the interim coach since April. Media reports have linked Roberto Mancini, who led Italy to the 2020 European Championship, with a return to the national team.
