Lazio coach Simone Inzaghi signs a new deal


Lazio coach Simone Inzaghi has signed a new contract which will keep him at the Serie A club until June 2020.

The 41-year-old took over from Marcelo Bielsa in July last year when the Argentinian quit after just two days in charge at the Stadio Olimpico.

Inzaghi led Lazio to the final of the Coppa Italia, where they were beaten by Juventus, and a fifth-placed finish in the league which ensures Europa League football next term.

The club said in a statement: "SS Lazio announces that the employment contract of coach Simone Inzaghi, who will lead the team for the next three seasons, has been extended."

Former Italy international Inzaghi played for the Biancocelesti from 1999 to 2010, which included loan spells at Sampdoria and Atalanta.

He retired as a player aged 34 in June 2010 after winning the Serie A title, three Coppa Italias, two Supercoppa Italiana titles and the UEFA Super Cup with the club.
