Gattuso will sign a 2+1-year contract with Lazio, with an annual salary of €1.5 million, and his coaching conditions include signing four new players.

That's just the state of Serie A—head coaches are essentially shuffled among these same Italian tacticians. The league's overall gameplay is outdated, extremely slow-paced. Serie A and Italian football have utterly fallen. As summer arrives, major Serie A teams are swapping managers again, and Lazio's new boss is Gattuso, who couldn't take Italy to the World Cup.

According to the latest report from Italian journalist Schira, Gattuso is set to become Lazio's new head coach. The deal for Gattuso to take over Lazio has been finalized, with a contract signing expected on June 4. The agreement is a two-year deal running until 2028, plus an option to extend until 2029, with an annual salary of only €1.5 million.

Gattuso will become Lazio's manager and has requested the club to sign four new players: a center-forward, a winger, a center-back, and a right-back.

In response, fans joke that given Lazio's operating model, signing four major new signings this summer is a pipe dream for Gattuso. Lotito might just go scout the youth team more carefully.

Although it's just a fan joke, the purchasing power of Serie A teams nowadays is even lower than that of Premier League relegation battlers and newly promoted sides. Without money, there are naturally no good players or coaches, and without good players and coaches, Serie A matches gradually become lullabies.
