Gian Piero Ventura has resigned as coach of Salernitana after failing to secure a promotion play-off spot and being publicly insulted by President Claudio Lotito.

The former Italy manager had been the favourite to capture the place in the Serie B play-offs, taking the lead against Spezia last night, only to lose 2-1 at home.

It looks as if Gian Piero Ventura is getting the sack after Salernitana failed to qualify for the promotion play-offs, as President Claudio Lotito was caught on camera calling the coach ‘crazy.’

The former Italy tactician had been tasked with taking Salernitana into Serie A, or at the very least the promotion play-offs.

They had been in pole position last night, until a shock 2-1 home defeat to Spezia.

Lazio are reportedly ready to offer Simone Inzaghi a bumper new deal until June 2022 with an option to extend for a further year.

The Aquile tactician has been with the club since 2016 and his contract is set to expire in June 2021, but the Corriere dello Sport claims President Claudio Lotito is ready to offer him new terms at the Olimpico.

Lazio have fallen behind in the title battle after the resumption, but the newspaper writes that Lotito is eager to continue with Inzaghi at the helm.

Lazio President Claudio Lotito reportedly arrived at Formello today, demanding an explanation for the unexpected crisis at the Biancocelesti.

Il Messaggero claims the patron showed up at the club’s sports centre to meet with coach Simone Inzaghi, sporting director Igli Tare and club manager Angelo Peruzzi.

The report claims they were all held to account, and the President has planned further meetings with the medical staff and players later this week.

Lazio are reportedly lowering the asking price for Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and prepare to sell the Serbian after the current campaign.

President Claudio Lotito has previously asked €100m for the player, but Calciomercato.com claims he has decided to lower his expectations and let the star go for €70m this summer.

The outlet claims the Biancocelesti ace could therefore move abroad this summer, as the other Italian teams will struggle to meet the required amount to keep the attacking midfielder in Serie A.

Lazio spokesman Arturo Diaconale hit back at controversy over the win at Fiorentina, insisting ‘media pressure is being created on purpose to cause us problems as we chase Juventus.’

The Biancocelesti beat Fiorentina 2-1 at the weekend, equalising from the spot after Felipe Caicedo seemed to go looking for contact with Bartlomiej Dragowski.

Lazio patron Claudio Lotito has allocated €18m in bonuses for the Scudetto and players agree to cut one month of salaries due to the pandemic.

Il Corriere dello Sport reveals that Lazio are optimistic about the Scudetto battle this term, as they sit one point behind the league leaders Juventus with 12 games remaining.

Inter are eight points behind Lazio at third but with one game in hand, as Lotito does the math at the Olimpico.

Newcastle are, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, ready to spend €135m in total to get Lazio star Ciro Immobile.

The Saudi Public Investment Fund are reportedly preparing a monstrous offer for the Italy international, who has bagged 27 goals in 26 Serie A matches this term.

His contract at Lazio expires in June 2023 but reports in Italian media have claimed he is in for a bumper new deal at the Olimpico this summer.
