Lazio coach Delio Rossi has decided to quit the club after delays over confirming his continuation at the helm of the Biancocelesti.

The 48-year-old had been in charge at the Stadio Olimpico for four seasons and guided Lazio to Coppa Italia success in the season just ended.

However, Lazio president Claudio Lotito is believed to be lining up Walter Zenga to succeed Rossi in a bid to improve league performances.

Rossi confirmed: "I will not be the trainer of Lazio next year.

"I have been in Rome for the last 15 days and Lotito promised to give me a response regarding my future in three or four days, but after two weeks it still hasn't arrived.

"I am not in a hurry, but the sensation is that someone here is scared to make the first move," Rossi explained.

"I don't have these problems, one has face up to responsibilities in life."
