Bielsa quits Lazio job after 48 hours

Former Argentina boss Marcelo Bielsa has abruptly pulled out of coaching Lazio in a shock move which the club said could result in legal action.

“

We note with amazement the resignation of Marcelo Bielsa in clear violation of the commitments and agreements signed last week and filed with the Italian Football Federation,” the Serie A club said in a statement on Friday.

Lazio said on Wednesday that the man who quit as Marseille coach after the first match of last season, would be arriving in Rome this weekend having signed a contract as coach.
