Lazio manager Edy Reja to leave

 

Edy Reja departs from Lazio

Edy Reja has announced he will leave Lazio after a difference of opinion with the management.

Reja has confirmed that he will be leaving the club this summer where he took charge just five months ago after the sacking of Vladimir Petkovic, returning to the club where he had a previous spell between 2010 and 2012.

He made the following statement, “The president reiterated his aims, but I think that it's right that Lazio change coach, my cycle is over, [A change of environment] could bring back the enthusiasm. We did well in the last period of the series but did not qualify for the Europea League. That would have made things completely different and a lot of players would have accepted Lazio more easily. The club, however, are working well in the market."

Media speculations have linked the former Manchester City boss, Roberto Mancini with a move back to the Serie A, as a prospective replacement at his former club Lazio.
