Lazio director of sport Igli Tare believes “Euro 2020 will be cancelled in order to give priority to the leagues” in the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic.
Italy has been in total lockdown for close to a week, as the country has been the hardest hit by the disease.
Tare spoke to Now News about the situation and how it’s affecting football.
“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,” the Lazio director of sport told the Albanian broadcaster.
“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.”
