SS Lazio officially confirmed on Tuesday the appointment of Gennaro Gattuso as their new head coach. This move brings the esteemed former Italy national team manager back to Serie A.

Gattuso, a renowned former midfielder, returns to Italy’s top flight after a recent spell where he narrowly missed guiding the Azzurri to qualification for the 2026 World Cup. His previous experience in Serie A includes a two-year tenure at Napoli, where he managed the club between 2019 and 2021.
