Lazio announces Sarri’s resignation and names his longtime assistant Martusciello as new coach

Associated Press  

ROME — Lazio officially announced coach Maurizio Sarri’s resignation on Wednesday and said his longtime assistant Giovanni Martusciello is taking over. “At the same time, the club announces that the coaching duties have been given to Giovanni Martusciello.” Martusciello was Sarri’s assistant at Empoli, Juventus and Lazio. Sarri steered Lazio to second place in the Italian league last year — albeit 16 points behind runway Serie A champion Napoli — but the capital club has disappointed this campaign. Lazio is through to the Italian Cup semifinals, where it will face Sarri’s former club Juventus next month.
