Overview
- S.S. Lazio formally announced Gennaro Gattuso as first-team head coach on Tuesday, June 23, 2026.
- Multiple reports say the agreement was reached around May 25 and that Gattuso visited Lazio’s Formello training ground on June 3 to discuss transfers with president Claudio Lotito and directors.
- Media accounts report Gattuso signed a two-year deal and that he replaces Maurizio Sarri, who has taken a role at Atalanta, though the club’s announcement did not disclose contract specifics.
- This is Gattuso’s first post since he resigned as Italy coach on April 3 after failing to qualify for the World Cup via the play-offs.
- Lazio’s early transfer discussions under Gattuso and Lotito could speed roster changes for the new season so watch for incoming and outgoing players as the club finalizes plans.
