Il Messaggero reports Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri asked the players if they wanted to get him sacked after the 3-0 defeat to Bologna and the crisis continued against Hellas Verona on Sunday.
Giovanni Simeone scored four times to give the Gialloblu a 4-1 win over Sarri’s men, who arrived after a 3-1 win over reigning champions Inter last time.
The Biancocelesti drew with Olympique Marseille at the Olimpico on Thursday last week but have struggled away from home this term.
Since beating Sarri’s former club Empoli in the first round of fixtures, Lazio have lost to Milan, Galatasaray, Bologna and Verona away, and have only picked up one point in the last four away games in Serie A.
The newspaper claims Sarri asked his player if they wanted his head after the 3-0 defeat to Bologna and history repeated itself in Verona.
Sarri admitted Lazio ‘melted like snow in the sun’ and Claudio Lotito has ordered the players into a retreat, as the Aquile sit eighth in the table with 14 points after nine games.
