Igli Tare, former sporting director of Lazio, gave a lengthy interview to SportMediaset, discussing many topics:
"Is football growing? Yes, judging by the past few years, I would absolutely say yes. Italy is first in the rankings this year, which is a very positive sign."
Is Igor Tudor the right man for Lazio?
"Making a drastic choice means it's right to follow through. In the end, they qualified for the next Europa League. Now it's time to assess and understand if there's a starting point for the future, which is crucial to have clarity from the beginning of the season. They know what they're doing."
Are you more curious about Thiago Motta's Juventus or Antonio Conte's Napoli? Tare said
"I think it will be a very interesting season with Conte's return, Inzaghi's Inter, Thiago Motta's Juventus. We need to see what Milan will do... It will be a very lively season, also because Conte is a person with a winning mentality."
Will it be a more open league?
"Absolutely, yes."
