Igli Tare he spoke again after leaving Lazio, which occurred at the end of last season. Interviewed by Kickersthe former Biancoceleste manager revealed different backgrounds linked to the last moments lived in the Capital: “After leaving Lazio, I relaxed and I spent a lot of time with family. This was very important after the long and exhausting period at Lazio. Our the center of life remains Romebut a few months ago I started traveling a lot again and watch football across Europe. Of course in the big leagues, but also in Greece or Türkiye.”.
Tare and the farewell to Lazio: the background
Tare continued: “If I left Lazio for differences with Lotito? It is not true. I had already announced internally more than a season in advance that I would no longer extend my expiring contract because I needed a break. For me it was extremely important to leave Lazio at the highest levels, as runner-up and participant in the Champions League. When I first started, things looked completely different, both athletically and financially. Lazio will always remain special in my life. But that makes no difference in how I identify with my day job.”
What will be the future of Tare?
“I love football, developing players, teams and clubs. If the project is right, I am highly motivated to work anywhere. A club should have great ambitions and wanting to compete for international places if possible. But for me it is equally important to achieve these goals in a sustainable and economically viable way. Acquiring players at relatively low prices and then selling them after a while at significantly higher prices was the great driving force and basis of the our continuous development at Lazio During the years. Even though a manager is primarily responsible for the success of professionals, he should always have a holistic view of his club. I think a well-functioning academy is essential. During my stay at Lazio, A total of 49 players have made the leap from the youth ranks to the professional ones. Not all of them got there permanently, some of them even ended up in the 2nd or 3rd league. But good youth work in your club is an invaluable bargaining chip: from a sporting, economic and cultural point of view. By the way, also regarding the training of trainers.”
Tare and the possibility of landing in the Bundesliga
“The Bundesliga is and remains extremely attractive, with everything that goes with it. It is the bond between fans and clubs that makes German culture so special. The atmosphere in the stadiums is unique and holds enormous appeal for many players and managers. Even about me. There may be individual aspects that attract you more in other countries or leagues. But it is important to respect cultural characteristics everywhere. And don’t forget: the organization and infrastructure are another great advantage of the Bundesliga.”
