March 18 (Reuters) - Lazio have appointed Igor Tudor as
manager following the resignation of Maurizio Sarri, the Serie A
club said on Monday.
Italian media reported that Tudor, 45, has signed an
18-month contract with the Rome club.
Tudor last coached French side Olympique de Marseille,
leaving in June last year after leading them to a third-place
finish. He has also managed Serie A teams Udinese and Verona.
The Croatia international played in Serie A as a defensive
midfielder for Juventus from 1998-2007.
Sarri resigned on March 13 and Lazio assistant coach
Giovanni Martusciello took charge for Saturday's 3-2 win at
Frosinone.
Lazio are ninth in the standings, four points outside the
European qualifying places.
