Lazio manager Marco Baroni is reportedly set to sign a new contract that will push back the deadline to June 2027.
The Background
Club president Claudio Lotito and sporting director Angelo Fabiani identified the 61-year-old as the right profile to oversee the major revamp started last summer, especially following his sensational campaign at Hellas Verona where he guided the club towards safety despite a mid-season exodus that deprived him of several key players.
A Tale of Two Halves
The Florentine’s time at Formello began on a great note, with the Biancocelesti enjoying a fabulous first half of the season. However, the team’s results have declined in recent months, with some reports claiming the coach’s position is no longer as certain as it once was.
Lazio & Marco Baroni to Stick Together
Nevertheless, Il Tempo (via La Lazio Siamo Noi) is reporting a drastically different scenario. The Newspaper reveals that a meeting took place between the hierarchy, the technical staff and the entire squad at Formello, with Fabiani reiterating the importance of maintaining the three-year project.
Crucial Meeting Planned
Therefore, the source expects a new meeting to occur in the coming days between the management and Baroni. The two parties will be looking to formalize their agreement, paving the way for a contract extension. The manager’s current deal runs until June 2026, but the renewal should push back the expiry date until 2027.
The report reveals that the club directors and Baroni have had their differences over the past few weeks, but they’re still keen to stick together, as they believe they’re on the right path despite encountering a few hurdles on the way.
