Lazio has officially announced the termination of its partnership with head coach Maurizio Sarri and his coaching staff. The Roman club confirmed that the employment contract was dissolved following the end of the season.
In a statement, the club expressed gratitude to Sarri and his staff for their work at Lazio. They also wished the coach and his colleagues success in their future professional endeavors.
"SS Lazio announces that head coach Maurizio Sarri and his staff have terminated their contract. The club confirms the end of the professional relationship and extends its best wishes to the coach and his colleagues for their future professional careers," the official statement reads.
Maurizio Sarri is considered one of the coaches with a unique style in Italian football. He is known for his football philosophy based on ball possession, positional play, and short passing. However, his final season at Lazio did not go as successfully as expected.
At the end of the 2025/2026 season, Lazio finished 9th in Serie A with 54 points. This result was not considered sufficient for the club's ambitions. The Romans aimed for a higher finish in the race for European qualification, but lacked consistency throughout the season.
Following Sarri's departure, Lazio faces the task of selecting a new head coach. The club needs a specialist who can bring new energy, a clear plan, and lead the team back to competing for top positions.
Previously, there were reports that Maurizio Sarri could potentially manage Atalanta. If this option materializes, the experienced coach could continue his career in Serie A at another ambitious club.
Atalanta could be an interesting destination for Sarri. In recent years, the Bergamo side has been known for attacking football, high tempo, and a solid system. Since Sarri's style is also based on ball possession and building attacks, this partnership could be theoretically interesting.
In short, Lazio has ended its cooperation with Maurizio Sarri and his staff. The Roman club finished the season in 9th place with 54 points and is now beginning the search for a new coach. For Sarri, the doors are not closed — another new challenge in Serie A may be waiting.
