Zeman insists no Lazio contact

Zdenek Zeman insists he's had no contact with Lazio.

Zeman was in Rome yesterday for Lazio's 2-1 defeat at home to AC Milan.

He has been linked with Davide Ballardini's job, but insists: "I cannot decide myself about coaching Lazio. It's not up to me and I can only say that I never told anyone from the leadership that I'm interested.

"Lazio have played a good game, better than other times. I think he has a squad quite competitive to do well. Relegation-threatened? No, I do not think so."
