Squad30 Nov 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Samu Aghehowa

88 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Lazio lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad30 Nov 2026

A falling-out at Lazio

Arijanet Murić and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match28 Nov 2026

Fiorentina take the points off Lazio

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout30 Nov 2026

No hiding place for Edoardo Motta

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Edoardo Motta, and the manager let it.

The dugout30 Nov 2026

Domenico Gastaldello faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Domenico Gastaldello after 1‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

The dugout30 Nov 2026

Nicolò Rovella knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Nicolò Rovella trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

The dugout30 Nov 2026

Pedro gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Pedro is on it.

Player ratings30 Nov 2026

Andrea Pinamonti runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 12. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Looking ahead30 Nov 2026

Luca Pellegrini faces his old club

Cagliari next, and one man in the Lazio dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

Squad16 Nov 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Samu Aghehowa

105 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Lazio lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad16 Nov 2026

Tempers go at Lazio

Arijanet Murić was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market16 Nov 2026

Luca Pellegrini has his eye on Europe

It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Lazio can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

A promise honoured for Arijanet Murić

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Lazio told Arijanet Murić something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

Samu Aghehowa gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Samu Aghehowa is on it.

Looking ahead16 Nov 2026

The leaders are next for Lazio

Inter top the table and they are coming into view. Nothing to lose, which is what every manager says before losing.

Market16 Nov 2026

The Mattia Zaccagni talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Lazio know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

Edoardo Motta knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Edoardo Motta trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Looking ahead16 Nov 2026

A reunion for Davide Frattesi

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Inter in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

Match19 Sep 2026

4 matches without a win for Lazio

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Lazio are no longer polite ones.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Lazio

Mattia Zaccagni was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match19 Sep 2026

4 matches without a goal for Lazio

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 4 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

Arijanet Murić gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match19 Sep 2026

A bad afternoon for Lazio against Bologna

0‑1 to Bologna, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Looking ahead21 Sep 2026

Derby week at Lazio

AS Roma next, which means a week that starts on Monday. Everything else on this page will be forgotten by Saturday; this fixture will not be forgotten for a year.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

Domenico Gastaldello: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑1, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

Squad21 Sep 2026

“I want to play”: Edoardo Motta speaks

“I respect the manager and I am not going to sit here and pretend I am happy.” It is the most common sentence in football and it has never once been the end of a story.

Market21 Sep 2026

Lazio put Nuno Tavares up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Nuno Tavares may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Market24 Aug 2026

Bayer Leverkusen come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Lazio did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market24 Aug 2026

Not going: Alessio Furlanetto stays at Lazio

“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” Campobasso had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Armando Izzo due for a Lazio medical

Everything agreed with Avellino, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Boardroom24 Aug 2026

5 academy graduates step up at Lazio

Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Lazio

Nuno Tavares and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Door shut on Devyne Rensch

Lazio asked and AS Roma said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market24 Aug 2026

Martino Verdi steps up from the Lazio academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Martino Verdi has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market24 Aug 2026

One of our own: Alessandro Baraldi joins the Lazio first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Alessandro Baraldi is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Kenneth Taylor takes the honours

Marked 7.49 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Lazio had the best player on the pitch.
