Lazio have held talks with Maurizio Sarri about the vacant coaching post.
Lazio are seeking a new coach after the departure of Simone Inzaghi for Inter Milan.
TMW says Sarri met sporting director Igli Tare and President Claudio Lotito on Monday, discussing the moves needed to adapt the current squad to his 4-3-3 tactics.
Former Marseille coach Andre Villas Boas had been due to fly in this morning for talks, but seemingly cancelled the trip, perhaps after learning he was not first choice.
Nuno Espirito Santo of Wolves is another potential candidate for the Lazio job.
