Lazio Delay Maurizio Sarri’s Press Conference after PR Fiasco | OneFootball

Lazio extended their woeful run as they had to postpone Maurizio Sarri’s press conference after causing a stir with an unconventional decision.

The Background

The Biancocelesti are coming off a disappointing end of the season, as they failed to qualify for any European competition. After bringing Sarri back to the club, the fans were hoping to see some promising signs this summer, but instead, they have been witnessing a horror show unfold in front of their very eyes.

Earlier this week, the club accidentally posted the new kits on their official website, one day before the official unveiling. And now they have followed it up by making an utter mess out of Sarri’s first press conference.
