Ex-Lazio Captain Wilson: “Inzaghi Will Sign a New Deal, the Cycle Isn’t Over Yet”

Former Lazio captain Pino Wilson was convinced that coach Simone Inzaghi will sign a new contract with the Biancocelesti.

Speaking in an interview with Italian media outlet TuttoMercatoWeb earlier today, the 1973/74 Scudetto winner first spoke about the Roman club’s elimination from the Champions League.

Now it’s one less burden, however beautiful and important it is to participate in the Champions League. Mentally we’ve carried the defeat against Bayern with us.

From a physical point of view, the team is in good shape but that defeat left some scars. Now we have to start again and we have to reach the Champions League, there are not so many points left, I see the conditions to reach the goal.

He touched on the current cycle of the squad.

No, it’s not over. In my opinion, the 4-5 key players will stay. In the event that they leave, other players of equal value will be taken. It’s a cycle that needs to be enriched with players who can be excellent starters.

The former Biancocelesti captain discussed the situation surrounding coach Inzaghi.

I think he will sign, he has everything you could ask for in an environment, he has formed a squad with which he gets along well, everyone loves him and he knows the problems of the city.

There are all the prerequisites for him to stay, but if there are other conflicts then it’s a different matter.

Finally, Wilson spoke about the importance of a top four finish.

Entering the Champions League could make everything easier for the confirmation of some players, but fourth place would also be useful to give a boost. We need a couple of top players.
