Maurizio Sarri Labels Lazio Season ‘Devastating’, Casts Doubt on Dele-Bashiru’s Future

Super Eagles forward Fisayo Dele-Bashiru has had a turbulent 2025/26 campaign with Lazio. Head coach Maurizio Sarri called the season devastating after their 1-0 defeat to Fiorentina. Sarri argued Lazio dominated large spells but were punished by a swift counter and a headed goal. He also cited the lack of a natural centre-forward and key missed chances from Mattia Zaccagni and Petar Ratkov. The loss leaves Lazio ninth in Serie A amid an ongoing injury crisis. Sarri admitted uncertainty over his own role and the club’s plans once the season ends. Lazio still eye redemption in the Coppa Italia semi-final, but major decisions loom over the squad and coaching staff.
