ROME — Lazio has officially announced coach Maurizio Sarri's resignation and said his longtime assistant Giovanni Martusciello is taking over. Italian media had reported on Tuesday that the 65-year-old Sarri had decided to step down after five losses in Lazio's last six matches. Sarri was in his third season in charge of Lazio and had a contract until the end of next season. Martusciello was Sarri's assistant at Empoli, Juventus and Lazio. He was Empoli's head coach in 2016-17 when the Tuscan club was relegated on the final day of the season.
