Lazio and Maurizio Sarri ‘to wait each other out’ over resignation versus sacking

Lazio and Maurizio Sarri are locked in a stand-off over how his exit is handled, with each side waiting on the other.

According to Il Messaggero, Sarri has no intention of resigning and is prepared to wait to be sacked to protect his contractual entitlements.

Lazio are holding their position, hoping he finds a new role before next season.

Finances underpin the impasse. If Sarri actively seeks another project, it would significantly strengthen the club’s hand in negotiating compensation or a mutual termination.

Planning for next season has begun in the background, but resolving his status remains the key obstacle. Lazio want his salary off the books to enable a summer overhaul, yet neither side appears ready to blink first.
