Onazi’s Coach Quits Two Days After Signing
Former Argentina manager Marcelo Bielsa has resigned as boss of Lazio the club that parades Super Eagles midfielder, Eddy Oge Onazi just after 48 hours of his appointment.
Before he was officially appointed as coach of the Biancocelesti , he had noticeably been dragging his feet over the job as reports claimed he was desperate to be manager of the La Albiceleste, Argentina national team, after the departure of Gerardo Martino.
The 60-year-old was officially due to start in his new post on Saturday having been appointed as Stefano Pioli’s replacement at the Stadio Olimpico on Wednesday. However Bielsa has had a change of heart, living up to his reputation for eccentric behaviour in the process. He walked out on Marseille after just one match of the last Ligue 1 season.
“We note with amazement the resignation of Mr Marcelo Bielsa … in a clear violation of the commitments undertaken in the agreements signed last week,” Lazio said in an official statement released on Friday.
The club are considering taking legal action against the former Argentina manager, and have appointed former striker Simone Inzaghi as his replacement.
