Over 10,000 Lazio fans gather to protest against President Lotito Over 10,000 Lazio fans have gathered in the streets of Rome to march in protest against President Claudio Lotito, demanding he ‘free’ the club from his influence. The ultras have been boycotting home matches for the better part of a year, even after having bought season tickets, as they wanted to send a message of their displeasure at the way the club is being run. With Lotito not interested in stepping back or even taking steps to resolve this tension with the fanbase, they announced a mass gathering in the city streets.
