This week in Lazio history we remember some fundamental victories and the passing of a Lazio legend: Bob Lovati .

A convincing win over Piacenza moves Lazio into promotion places ready for the grand finale.

A number of Lazio , Milan , Bologna , Avellino , Genoa and Perugia players were all accused of match fixing in 1980 .

Lovati played for Lazio for six years making 146 appearances ( 135 in Serie A and 11 in Coppa Italia ) He was captain when Lazio won the Italian Cup in 1958 , their first historic silverware.

After retiring he went on to coach the goalkeepers but in October 1962 , when Carlo Facchini was sacked, Lovati became head coach and was the one who sat on the bench on Sundays .

The real manager was Juan Carlos Lorenzo but because he was not Italian , he could not officially be manager or be on the sidelines on match day.
