Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone has said that he is convinced he will one day take charge of Lazio.
The Argentine has enjoyed a successful spell as the head coach of Atletico and guided the club to the La Liga title and the final of the Champions League last season.
"I have many friends in Rome, and I'm sure that one day I'll coach Lazio, because that's life," he told Lazialita. "It happened when I went to a club like Atletico Madrid, where I had been [as a player] and given my everything to do well, so it could also happen with Lazio.
"I'm convinced that you go back to those places where you have a past as a player. I behave the same way in football and in life.
"I will return to Lazio, it's only a matter of time. Right now I'm very happy at Atletico Madrid, but life is long, and one day I'll be there, dressed in black as always."
Simeone spent four seasons playing for Lazio and helped the club to win the Serie A title and the Coppa Italia during his time in Rome.
