“I'm not satisfied, I wasn't listened to”

Maurizio Sarri ended the first season of his second term at Lazio with a win. But in the discussion he had with the television reporters at the end of the duel with Pisa (2-1), he let it be understood that he is very dissatisfied with the relationship with the boss Claudio Lotito.

Maurizio Sarri: “We'll see in the next few days if we can go further”

Asked if it was his last game at Lazio, the Italian technician pointed out: “I have two years left on my contract, so it seems premature to make such a statement. Then there will be discussions in the coming days.”

But it was only the preamble of a repulsion that does not allow a “clear sky” to be glimpsed at the meeting with the boss. “I'm unhappy with a lot of things, but it's a long way from here to being out of contract. We'll see in the next few days if we can move on or make other decisions,” said Sarri.

Asked what would make the difference between staying and going, the 67-year-old coach dotted the i's: “I'd like to be listened to more, this year I feel like I haven't been listened to. Things were done that I didn't agree with and I have not been given any explanations so it is difficult for me to understand why they were done but it is a personal opinion that conflicts with the contract”.

Even more concrete: “There was dialogue with the club about unimportant things and no dialogue about the really important things. For me. That's my opinion.” As for the fans, Sarri said he thanked them for showing him “unconditional love and I will always thank them, regardless of my relationship with the club. They are in my heart and they will always be there.”

In 38 league matches, Lazio managed 14 wins, 12 draws and 12 losses. Score: 41-40. Sarri's team fared better in the Cup, where they played the final against Inter, which they lost 2-0.
