Official: Delio Rossi is Lazio's new coach
Posted 10 Jun '05, 22:08 PM
Former Atalanta boss Delio Rossi has officially signed a one-year contract
to take over at Lazio, announced the club this evening.
Rossi has been in the frame and took pole position once Frenchman Paul Le
Guen passed up on the opportunity.
The tactician – who almost turned Atalanta’s season around but was
eventually unable to avoid relegation – has penned a one-year deal with
an option to extend for a second season.
He takes over from Giuseppe Papadopulo, whose contract was not renewed
despite capturing an Intertoto Cup spot.
“We are convinced this is the right decision and all the rumours about
Le Guen came from his interest in our project,” insisted President Claudio
Lotito. “Rossi has always made sure his teams play entertaining football
and I hope he’ll do the same here.”
Lazio also confirmed in their announcement that the new director of sport
will be Carlo Osti, replacing Gabriele Martino following his resignation.
“Rossi is the right Coach for a revamped Lazio that will base a lot of its
success on the youth sector,” added Lotito. “I hope the critics leave him
to do his work. It is a one-year contract because, just as with husband and
wife, you need to get to know each other before forging a partnership.”
