“Will Inzaghi be the Lazio Coach in future? We have to take baby steps, it was not an easy week to deal with after the training retreat in Norcia and tension in the city,” Tare told Mediaset Premium.

“Everyone knows what it means to lose a derby in Rome. We made Inzaghi the Coach because he knows this environment, he is part of Lazio’s history and this has to be a positive start.

“We didn’t have the chance to promote him earlier because we hoped to emerge from this difficult moment and end the season with Pioli.

“Unfortunately the team is incomplete, we have many absences on the wings and in defence. Senad Lulic will play with a muscular problem and it was not easy for Inzaghi to train this team.

“He tried to bring some calm to the group and all those things we need to get out of this tough time.

“Inzaghi has done very well as Coach of the youth team and achieved great results. If he makes the most of these remaining seven games, we will consider the situation, but we have to focus on each individual game first.”
