Lazio’s Sporting Director Addresses Team’s Future and Transfer Strategy

Following Lazio’s recent 5-0 defeat to Bologna, the club’s sporting director Angelo Fabiani has spoken out to clarify several matters concerning the team’s future. In an interview, Fabiani discussed the position of coach Baroni, the club’s plans, and potential transfer activity.

Coach Baroni’s Position

Despite recent inconsistent results, Fabiani emphasized that Baroni’s position is not currently under threat. He stated, “At present, his role is not in question. However, like a car designer, I wait until the end of the journey to assess if any parts aren’t functioning properly. This applies to everyone, not just the coach.”

Transfer Market Plans

Regarding potential transfers, Fabiani noted, “The transfer market never sleeps. We’ll evaluate if we need any replacements to improve next year’s team.” He hinted at interest in Viktoria Plzen’s striker Durosinmi but stressed that the focus remains on the present.

Player Contract Renewals

Fabiani also addressed the issue of contract renewals for veteran players. He confirmed that goalkeeper Mandas’ contract has been adjusted, Marusic has an automatic one-year extension, and decisions on Vecino and Pedro will be made at the appropriate time.

In conclusion, Fabiani reassured fans, stating, “There’s no cause for alarm at Lazio, either on or off the field.”
