Agreement to be finalized after Frosinone match

(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 15 - Lazio have reached an agreement in principle for Igor Tudor to take over the Rome side after Maurizio Sarri quit as coach this week, according to ANSA sources.
    There are still some details to be worked out and these will be finalized after Saturday's visit to Frosinone in Serie A, the sources said.
    The 45-year-old former Croatia and Juventus defender is a much travelled coach whose former sides include Hajduk Split, Galatasaray, Udinese and Hellas Verona.
    His last job was at Olympique de Marseille, who he led to a third-placed finish in the French top flight last season.
    Sarri quit on Tuesday following Monday's night's 2-1 home defeat to relegation-threatened Udinese.
    Lazio's third consecutive league defeat, their fourth in all competitions following last week's 3-0 loss at Bayern Munich that saw them exit the Champions League in the last 16, leaves them ninth in the Serie A standings with 40 points with 10 games to go, meaning their chances of qualifying for European competition next season are not good.
    The club have put Sarri's assistant Giovanni Martusciello in charge as caretaker coach for the moment. (ANSA).
