S.S. Lazio has officially announced the arrival of Gennaro Gattuso as new coach. The contract signed by Gattuso has a duration of two years, but with a 'classification clause' that allows for automatic renewal for the second year if Lazio finishes the 2026/2027 Serie A season in the top 12 positions.

What is the 'classification clause'?

The 'classification clause' is a condition that allows for the automatic renewal of Gattuso's contract if Lazio reaches the top 12 positions in the 2026/2027 season.

How does the automatic renewal work?

The automatic renewal will be triggered if Lazio finishes the 2026/2027 Serie A season in the top 12 positions. There are no European constraints for the renewal, so Gattuso will only need to focus on the Italian league standings.

What does it mean for Lazio?

The signing of Gattuso and the 'classification clause' represent an important step forward for Lazio. The club is aiming to improve its position in the standings and achieve its sports goals.
