He will succeed Igor Tudor, who resigned as Lazio coach last week.
“It is all sorted out with Verona. Baroni is the new Lazio coach,” President Lotito told Il Messaggero.
“We wanted him because he is a good coach and we think he is the right profile for us. I was called up by four Presidents complimenting me on my choice. I picked a person of quality, everyone says so, and Sarri spoke highly of him too.”
And in a message to fans, he said: “The people who don’t want him are probably the same ones who waged war on me when I hired Simone Inzaghi, Stefano Pioli and Vladimir Petkovic… There must be a reason if a winner like Adriano Galliani wanted him too, right?”
