Newly arrived in Rome, Igor Tudor leads his first training sessions with Lazio during the international break. The former OM coach, who took over from Maurizio Sarri this week, explained his choice to join the second club in Rome. Currently ninth in the championship, the Anquilotti are in a poor position to qualify for a European competition next season. The Croatian coach, however, sees a great challenge.
“Coming to coach a prestigious club like Lazio, everyone wants to do it, it’s a prestigious team, with good players, with special supporters, we can’t not accept a challenge like that. (…) I think we can do great things, we have to start working, with intelligence, because I come after a coach who advocated a certain type of football. I have my style of play, it will take a little adaptation and time. I have a healthy group, which works well, it is up to me to transmit the ideas I have in mind as quickly as possible” he presented himself on the club's television channel this morning. The technician will have a complicated first match. On March 30, he will have to face Juventus. The Romans have not beaten the Bianconeri at home since 2017 in the league.
