Lazio president Claudio Lotito has confirmed the appointment of coach Maurizio Sarri.

No word has been released from the club's website, but Lotito has declared Sarri is now their coach.

He said, “We kept the pledges that we made with a coach who allows the club to develop and achieve our objectives, in line with the potential and ambitions of this side."

Sarri replaces Simone Inzaghi, who walked away after five years to take the Inter job.
