Vladimir Petkovic is likely to part ways with Lazio Rome following the team’s recent defeat against Verona (1-4), according to reports from Corriere dello Sport. The defeat has reportedly prompted Lazio’s president, Claudio Lotito, to consider ending Petkovic’s tenure as the coach. Although the decision is yet to be officially announced, it could accelerate Petkovic’s potential move to become the head coach of the Swiss national team, a position left vacant by Ottmar Hitzfeld.
The same source mentions FC Basel coach Murat Yakin as a possible replacement for Petkovic on the Lazio bench in the upcoming season, indicating a growing interest in Swiss football talent within the realm of Italian football.
