Lazio director of sport Tare: Euros must be postponed

Lazio director of sport Igli Tare expects the Euros to be suspended this summer.

Serie A is currently suspended due to the coronavirus outbreak.

“Italy is divided in two, in the north the situation is dramatic. In the centre and in the south we understand what the reality of the facts are," Tare told Now News.

“In Rome, everything is still under control but the city is empty and we are all aware of the danger. There is a fear that the virus will also arrive here with the same intensity of the north.

“It's best to respect the law. They advised us to stay at home and to avoid contact with people outside the family.

“The league couldn't have continued like this. Players have tested positive, in three weeks we will know better how long it will take to get out of the situation.

“With the club we decided to stop training for at least another week. In the end I think Euro 2020 will be postponed to give priority to the leagues around Europe."
