This article follows the Transfer Saga concerning Lazio and Manager Igor Tudor. Despite only being appointed in March of 2024 – taking over for Maurizio Sarri – due to Transfer Market misunderstandings and disagreements with President Claudio Lotito and Sporting Director Angelo Fabiani about players in the current squad, he resigned from the club on June 5, 2024.

Igor Tudor and Lazio will part ways with immediate effect after the Croatian Manager’s Agent Anthony Seric found him a new club to take over at. The Biancocelesti are now evaluating Marco Baroni, Paulo Sousa, and Miroslav Klose as possible replacements; Massimiliano Allegri has also been called by Claudio Lotito, and Maurizio Sarri’s return is also on the cards, reports Damiano Er Faina. Lazio and Tudor were in a very complicated and delicate situation. The Croatian Manager had requested the departure of around 10 players – including Matteo Guendouzi, Nicolo Rovella, Danilo Cataldi, Luca Pellegrini, Alessio Romagnoli, and Gustav Isaksen – in addition to being the one who would call the shots about their replacements (and the club’s future purchases). This is why there was a rift between him and both President Claudio Lotito and Sporting Director Angelo Fabiani, who told him to find another club.

Igor Tudor and his Agent Anthony Seric met with President Claudio Lotito and Sporting Director Angelo Fabiani last night. The two parties tried to bridge the gap between them over dinner but the differences persisted. However, they agreed to keep the discussions going, so they held another meeting on Tuesday morning at the club’s training center in Formello.
- According to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, the second summit hasn’t bore a major breakthrough either, as the two parties still can’t agree on a common transfer market strategy.
- Matteo Moretto believes Tudor’s future at Lazio is not in the balance. He claims the two parties remain in harmony and share a desire to prolong their collaboration; however, they needed to sit at a table to devise a transfer strategy and clarify a few matters.
- Alfredo Pedulla insists Lotito and Tudor have their issues, which could spell the end of the coach’s short tenure in the capital. His Agent Anthony Seric has returned to Croatia with the goal of finding a solution abroad for the Manager. If nothing works out, he will continue at Lazio with a ‘superficial’ relationship with the club and President Claudio Lotito.
