Stadium	Lazio spent their early history trying to find themselves a permanent home. They moved from Campo di Piazza d’Armi to Parco dei Daini, Campo della Farnesina, Stadio della Rondinella and then to the Stadio Nazionale, in 1931. They played at the Stadio Nazionale until 1953, when they moved to their current home, known as Stadio Olimpico since the 1960 Olympic Games. Its construction had begun in 1927 when it was known as Stadio dei Cipressi, but it took some time before it was completed and was even a parking place during the war. Eventually inaugurated in 1953, it was also known as the 100,000 Stadium due to its capacity. It hosted all sorts of sports besides football. The capacity was later reduced to 65,000 as all the ground seating was eliminated. The Stadium was demolished and rebuilt for the 1990 World Cup with Lazio playing at the Stadio Flaminio during the 1989-1990 campaign. In 2007, further major works occurred in order to meet the UEFA standards and recently Lazio have made noises about a dedicated stadium they can call their own.
Recent History	It was 1999-2000 when Lazio won their second Scudetto ever, controversially triumphing over Juventus in the last week of the campaign. In subsequent years Club President Sergio Cragnotti who had presided over the success encountered serious financial issues and the club came close to bankruptcy. In July 2004, Lazio were bought by the entrepreneur Claudio Lotito, who managed to prevent its collapse. The new President adopted a policy of prudent spending in comparison to the extravagances of previous years. The club’s biggest stars were sold thus earning him the unwelcome label of the most hated man in town. Despite this negativity towards his stewardship, Lotito succeeded in keeping Lazio amongst the top 10 in Serie A and has won silverware in 3 Coppa Italias and 2 Italian Super Cups. 3rd placed finishes in 2006-2007 and 2014-2015 were Serie A highlights.

Last season Lazio obtained their best result in over 20 years, that is since winning their second Scudetto in 1999/2000. In fact, they surprisingly ended up runners up, despite never really being in contention for the title. Continuity and a solid defence, they held the league’s second best defence with only 30 goals conceded, were certainly their secrets while, strangely enough for a Maurizio Sarri team, they were not particularly effective offensively, with just 60 goals scored. The transfer campaign did not look a particularly active one for the Eagles until they found themselves losing midfield star Milinković-Savić, who was lured away from Saudi Arabian money. This was certainly a huge loss for them, especially considering that Sarri hoped to be fighting for the title this time around. Kamada, who signed on a free, is the only midfielder they signed so far and so would logically be expected to replace the Serbian, who was often decisive with goals and assists, although their characteristics are quite different. Then, they hired a hugely missed back-up for Immobile, who had his worst season since 2016 with only 12 goals scored, in Castellanos, who did quite well at his debut in European football at Girona. Sarri complained openly for the lack of further new arrivals and so Isaksen arrived from Midtjylland: the 22-year-old should become an alternative for the wings, also considering that Pedro is not getting any younger. Lazio are still on the hunt for a back-up for Provedel in goal, since Maximiano was a huge disappointment, while they are also short in terms of full-backs and Pellegrini could be re-signed from Juventus. The midfield could also need further strengthening as Luis Alberto might at last quit too.
