A key meeting is set for this evening in Milan between Baroni and President Urbano Cairo, where the final details will be worked out, and a contract should be signed this week.

It is going to be a two-year deal with an option for a third season on top of that.

Baroni steered Lazio to seventh place in the Serie A table, although until the last couple of rounds they had been in the hunt for a top four finish.
