Lotito promises Lazio fans big changes

Lazio president Claudio Lotito has promised fans major changes this summer.

Lotito also has hit out at the transfer speculation around Lazio's squad.

"In recent weeks, as has become customary with regards to Lazio, there has been a genuine shot from the media at many players registered with the club," Lotito posted on Lazio's official website.

"It is a perverse mechanism where those on the inside, such as myself, have gotten used to it, but I understand the fear of the fans that every day we are confronted with sports coverage on the front pages where a face of a champion is associated with various hypotheses of a sale.

"Well, it is in my interest to maintain for the new season a squad that is highly competitive, which will launch the re-conquest of Europe with determination and fight for a place in the Champions League.

"A team as historical as Lazio deserves historical results, such as that achieved in the Coppa Italia Final of May 26, 2013.

"The club has a management team that knows perfectly the values to add to the squad and operates exclusively for the enhancement and improvement of the competitiveness of the team.

"And at this point, given the sharing of objectives and philosophy of intervention, we chose the new Coach Stefano Pioli.

"I can assure the fans that what will come will be a year of change."
