Lazio sporting director Angelo Fabiani has confirmed Marco Baroni still has a future at the club despite the Rome Eagles’ Europa League quarter-final exit following a penalty shootout defeat to Bodo Glimt, Il Messaggero reports on Saturday.
Baroni started his tenure as Lazio manager in all competitions with great success but began to fade in the middle of the season, with the team crashing out of the Europa League in the last eight and now fighting for a Champions League place in the final six games of the season.
‘We have had a successful journey, it’s a pity, but losing on penalties is not a reason to change the manager. Let’s move on,’ Fabiani said.
