Napoli team manager Giuseppe Santoro has been offered new terms by president Aurelio de Laurentiis.
Santoro has been linked with a move to Lazio to join up with former Napoli coach Edy Reja, which has forced De Laurentiis' hand.
Lazio are on the lookout for a new team manager, with ex-West Ham United chief Gianluca Nani and former Italy goalkeeper Angelo Perruzzi among names mentioned.
