Marcelo Bielsa is reportedly close to the Argentina job, Lazio’s lawyer is “not surprised” and calls for sanctions.

Having signed a contract to become the new Biancocelesti Coach, ‘El Loco’ dramatically resigned from the post without ever having arrived in Rome.

Now rumours are intensifying that he’ll take over the Argentinian national team, and the Aquile will push for sanctions if that happens.

Marcelo Bielsa is reportedly close to the Argentina job, Lazio’s lawyer is “not surprised” and calls for sanctions.

Having signed a contract to become the new Biancocelesti Coach, ‘El Loco’ dramatically resigned from the post without ever having arrived in Rome.

Now rumours are intensifying that he’ll take over the Argentinian national team, and the Aquile will push for sanctions if that happens.

“It’s no surprise,” the club’s lawyer Gian Michele Gentile told Sky.

“It’s the only explanation for Bielsa’s behaviour in giving up €3m per year. I figured there must be an alternative offer, either for more money or more prestige.

“We’ll ask the FIGC to take action with the governing bodies at FIFA, because the AFA [Argentinian FA], knowing there was a contract, prompted Bielsa to break that contract.

“There’s a responsibility from the point of view of sporting law, and FIFA have the authority to sanction Bielsa and the [Argentinian] Federation.”
