June 5 (Reuters) - Igor Tudor has resigned from his role
as Lazio coach, after less than three months in charge, the
Serie A club said on Wednesday.
Tudor replaced Maurizio Sarri when he resigned as manager in
March, and signed an 18-month contract. At the time, Lazio were
ninth in the standings, and Tudor took them to a seventh-placed
finish, and Europa League qualification.
"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."
The 46-year-old Croatian has previously managed Hellas
Verona and Udinese in Italy, and took Olympique de Marseille to
a third-placed finish in Ligue 1 in the 2022-23 season before
leaving the club in June last year.
