Banfield Coach Matias Almeyda confirmed “it would be a dream to go back to Lazio and I can’t disguise that.”
There had been reports the former Biancocelesti midfielder would relish a return to the Stadio Olimpico after his time there as a player from 1997 to 2000.
“It would be a dream to go back to Lazio,” Almeyda told ilcatenaccio.es.
“I truly respect the work done by Edy Reja and don’t want to create any pressure on him, but at the same time I can’t disguise it would be wonderful to return to Lazio as a Coach.”
He retired in 2011 and became a Coach, working at River Plate and now Banfield.
Reja has a contract until June 2015, but could potentially be sacked after the Biancocelesti failed to qualify for Europe.
“It’s a shame to see Lazio reduced to this and I will always have this club in my heart. I always liked the Rome derbies, especially as I usually had to mark Francesco Totti, who was the spoilt child of Roma.
“He is a fantastic player and I was always motivated to face him, because he’s a player with so much quality.”
