Lazio coach Igor Tudor is happy Mattia Zaccagni signed a new deal.

The striker penned a new contract earlier this week.

Tudor said, "Zaccagni can play as a wide forward, he can play as a winger. As a wing back yes or no, he can struggle because he has to sacrifice a lot. He can also play behind the striker, for us he is an important player and we have missed him a lot.

“He has shown his importance in the years spent at Lazio, he can give us an important hand, he will play from the start, but he can come on from the bench."

He added, “Everyone sees the mentality in a different way, the mentality is part of something that is even more important, and we talk about values.

“Values that a coach wants to convey, to which are added aggression, wickedness and the desire to always do something more. These values are important not only in football but in all sports. Footballers are first and foremost men."
