Lazio president Claudio Lotito has confirmed Marco Baroni is the club’s new head coach. While also responding to fan protests over the appointment football.

The decision comes after turmoil at the club in recent months. With Maurizio Sarri abruptly leaving in mid-March and then being replaced by Igor Tudor this week. Following a deep disagreement with the club’s board over transfer plans.UFABET 

But they have turned to Baroni, who recently helped Hellas Verona to safety in Serie A. Despite making almost a full squad change in the January transfer window.

“Everything is fine with Verona, Baroni is the new coach of Lazio,” Lotito told Il Messacchero.

“We need him because he is a good coach and we think he has the right profile for us. I have received compliments from four presidents for my selection. I chose someone with quality, everyone says that and Sarri also praises him.”

However, not everyone is happy, as Lazio fans are set to stage a massive protest next Sunday against Baroni’s selection and also against Lotito’s management of the club.

“The ones who don’t want him are the same ones who waged war against me. When I hired Simone Inzaghi, Stefano Pioli and Vladimir Petkovic… It would make sense if a winner like Adriano Galliani wanted him too, wouldn’t it?” Lotito responded to the protests.
