Lazio reassuring: âNo problem with Sarriâ for next season
Lazio director Angelo Maria Fabiani insists there is âno problemâ around Maurizio Sarriâs future, whether or not they win tonightâs Coppa Italia semi-final with Atalanta.
It kicks off at the New Balance Arena in Bergamo at 20.00 UK time (21.00 CEST).
The first leg ended 2-2 in Rome on March 4, and there is no away goals rule, so if it ends in a draw after 90 minutes, it goes to extra time and potentially even a penalty shoot-out.
The victor will take on Inter in the one-off Final at the Stadio Olimpico on May 13.

Lazio are fresh off a surprise 2-0 Serie A victory away to Napoli, and know that the Coppa Italia is their last chance to truly salvage a difficult season.
