JAKARTA - Walter Mazzarri is happy to return to the club he joined in 1982 when he was still actively playing. However, as coach this time, he believes his Cagliari team can beat Lazio.
The Tuscany tactician also marked his return to the bench for more than a year since being sacked by Torino in February last year, with a 2-2 draw against Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico.

Mazzarri was recruited to replace Leonardo Semplici, who was sacked earlier this week.
"Compliments to the players because I've been torturing them (in training) lately. They put in an outstanding performance and I am happy because they understand that I am never satisfied," Mazzarri told DAZN via Football Italia.

“We created more chances than Lazio in the first half, barely conceding. Too bad we only got a draw.
"I wanted to score a third goal, we could have attacked, but looked scared and we sat too deep," continued the coach.
"I'm happy to be back, I'm waiting for the right moment. I study and I come back.
“I focus on the technical aspects. Now I'm very motivated, almost like my first experience as a coach."
