In Italy - misunderstandings in football. Just two days ago, the 60-year-old Marcelo Bielsa was announced as the new coach of Rome's "Lazio", but the Italian capital team will not be coached by him.
On Wednesday, "Lazio" officially announced that a contract had been signed with the former coach of the national teams of Argentina and Chile, and the strategist himself will arrive in Rome tomorrow. However, the Italian club unexpectedly announced today that the coach refused to come to Italy and start preparing for the new season.
So far, the motives for M. Bielsa's withdrawal are unclear, but it is possible that after Gerardo Martino's resignation from the Argentine national team, the plans of the former "Marseille" strategist have changed. There is a good chance that M. Bielsa will take over as the head coach of the national team.
"We are greatly surprised by Marcelo Bielsa's resignation. In the middle of the week, a contract was legally signed with the coach, but today the agreement was broken. The club reserves the right to take legal action against this coach," - it is written on the official "Lazio" website.
The preparation for the season for the "Lazio" team will begin with the physical trainer Simone Inzaghi.
