As reported by Italian media outlet La Lazio Siamo Noi earlier today, up until yesterday the 45-year-old Italian coach’s departure from the Roman club seemed almost inevitable, with reports linking him with the job at Inter and president Claudio Lotito lining up alternatives.

However, yesterday’s meeting with Lotito was a success for Lazio; Inzaghi put pen to paper on a three-year deal worth €2.2 million net per season plus add-ons. It was almost fate, then, that Inzaghi signed the deal on the 26th of May, a special day in the hearts of Biancocelesti fans.
