Former Lazio star Matias Almeyda is delighted for Simone Inzaghi over his coaching success.

Almeyda is currently in charge of Chivas in Mexico and continues to follow the progress of his old team.

He said, "Inzaghi has changed the face of the team, I'm so pleased with what he is doing. You see a strong Lazio, who plays a nice offensive game and can fight for the Scudetto.

"Simone makes it clear in every match that (president Claudio) Lotito has chosen well. As a teammate he was a simple guy and when he became the first team mister, no one knew how he would go. Instead, he has proved to be ready, he is proving to be one of the best."
