Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri is tightlipped on his contract situation.

Talks over a new deal have been rumbling on for months.

Sarri said, "The contract doesn't matter, only the words of the President. I could have a 10-year contract, but if I am no longer in sync with the project and the environment, I won't stay. It could also be vice-versa, I can have a month left on my contract, but the extreme desire to remain at all costs, because I am in sync with everything."

On his ambitions, he added: “It would be more worrying if we finished fifth and didn't feel like we'd created something rather than ending up in eighth place and aware we'd laid the foundations for the future."
