All rumours of Marcelo Bielsa abandoning Lazio are dismissed as Argentina name Julio Olarticoechea to Coach the national team.

'El Loco' gave the Roman fans a first taste of drama before even stepping foot in the capital, as it was rumoured that he would walk away from his agreed deal to join the Biancocelesti at the last minute.

With the first Lazio training scheduled for today and no Coach in site, Laziali feared their club would have to rush into signing somebody else.

All rumours of Marcelo Bielsa abandoning Lazio are dismissed as Argentina name Julio Olarticoechea to Coach the national team.

'El Loco' gave the Roman fans a first taste of drama before even stepping foot in the capital, as it was rumoured that he would walk away from his agreed deal to join the Biancocelesti at the last minute.

With the first Lazio training scheduled for today and no Coach in site, Laziali feared their club would have to rush into signing somebody else.

But multiple reports from South American sources, now being bounced across the Italian media too, confirm that Argentina have named Olarticoechea as their new Coach.

The former World Cup winner will guide the Albiceleste during this summer's Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

Bielsa should therefore join Lazio as expected, albeit with a measure of delay.
