Overview
- Pedro scored the winning goal in what was presented as his final Lazio appearance, completing a 2-1 comeback over relegated Pisa and receiving a standing ovation at the Stadio Olimpico.
- The stadium was largely empty because Lazio ultras continued their boycott of home matches to protest president Claudio Lotito, so the farewell unfolded with few supporters in the stands.
- Maurizio Sarri publicly said he felt unheard by the club, praised his players’ moral qualities and indicated he will seek a quick agreement to terminate his contract as reports link him to Atalanta.
- Lazio finished the season ninth, failed to qualify for European competition and closed a difficult campaign that included a transfer ban, missed January reinforcements and numerous injuries and suspensions forcing makeshift lineups.
- Pedro confirmed he will not renew his contract when it expires on June 30, said on May 23 that he did not yet know his next step, and urged unity between the squad, fans and club as the club prepares for a transitional summer.
