JAKARTA - Lazio confirmed the appointment of Maurizio Sarri as their head coach.

The former Chelsea and Juventus coach replaced Simone Inzaghi who left for Inter Milan.

"SS Lazio announces Maurizio Sarri as the new coach of the first team," read a short message on Lazio's official website.

Uniquely, before this announcement, Lazio's Twitter account gave a leak by only uploading a cigarette emoji. Yes, Sarri is known as a heavy smoker who smokes 60 sticks of tobacco every day.

Sarri signed a two-year contract on Wednesday afternoon local time and it was announced via a video that depicts his 'Sarrismo' philosophy of football.

Hours later, Lazio revealed the staff working with Sarri at Formello next season.

They include assistant manager Giovanni Martusciello, fitness staff Davide Ranzato and Davide Losi, technical collaborators Gianni Picchioni and Marco Ianni, plus goalkeeping coach Massimo Nenci.

Martusciello worked under Sarri at Empoli and Juventus. During the 2017-19 period, he was under the tutelage of Luciano Spalletti at Inter.
