Circa 5,000 Lazio fans gathered in the streets of Rome to protest against President Claudio Lotito, new coach Marco Baroni and their transfer strategy.
The club is in turmoil after a difficult few months, as Maurizio Sarri resigned in mid-March, then his replacement Igor Tudor signed a long-term contract only to walk away last week because he had profound disagreements with Lotito on how to build the team.
They appointed former Verona boss Baroni on a two-year contract and the decision did not sit well with the supporters.
The departure of Luis Alberto and Daichi Kamada also irritated the fans, who claim there is a lack of ambition from Lotito.
