Igor Tudor Quits As Lazio Manager After Three Months In Charge
Igor Tudor has resigned from his role as Lazio manager after just three months in charge.
Tudor was appointed on an 18-month contract when he replaced Maurizio Sarri in March and led Lazio from ninth to seventh on the Serie A table, qualifying for the Europa League.
The former Croatia defender reportedly had a misunderstanding with Lazio officials over the club's summer transfer targets and has decided to step down.
"S.S. Lazio announces that, today, Igor Tudor has resigned as head of the first team," the club said in a statement.
"The Club would like to thank the coach for his work and wishes him the best of luck personally and professionally."
Before joining Lazio, Tudor coached Olympique Marseille in the French Ligue 1 in the 2022/2023 season, leading them to third position.
The 46-year-old has also managed Udinese, Hellas Verona and Galatasaray in the past.
