Candidates to Replace Rossi

Lotito is running out of patience and it could be all change sooner rather than later... Lazio president Claudio Lotito is planning a coaches lottery as more doubts are cast upon Delio Rossi's future at the Olimpico.

Leggo claims the fiery chief has lined up four potential candidates to replace the under fire coach if his marriage with Lazio breaks down. The Biancocelesti have struggled this term, and hopes of European football have suffered as a result.

Lotito does not want to miss out of the financial benefits offered by qualification for Europe and this could lead to Rossi paying the price of failure.

Reports suggest Siena coach Marco Giampaolo, Sampdoria tactician Walter Mazzarri, Cagliari's Massimiliano Allegri and Livorno's Leonardo Acori have all been added to the list.

Although the voices over a probable sacking have grown louder in recent weeks, the Rome-based club are likely to wait and see if the team pushes itself into Europe.

Failure to reach the minimum objective of a UEFA Cup place could have the writing on the wall for Rossi.
