Nigeria midfielder Fisayo Dele-Bashiru is set to play under a new manager next season after Lazio confirmed the appointment of former Italy international Gennaro Gattuso as the club’s head coach, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
The Serie A club formally announced Gattuso’s arrival on Tuesday, weeks after he was first seen at Lazio’s training centre in Formello, Rome.
The 48-year-old was spotted at the club’s facilities on June 3, where he reportedly held discussions with president Claudio Lotito and club directors over transfer plans and preparations for the new season.
Although an agreement had reportedly been reached as far back as May 25, Lazio only confirmed the appointment on Tuesday.
“S.S. Lazio announces that it has appointed Mr. Gennaro Gattuso as Head Coach of the First Team.
“The Club warmly welcomes its new manager and is confident that his experience, professionalism, and determination will contribute to achieving the Club’s sporting objectives,”
