Simone Inzaghi has led Lazio to fourth place and final of Coppa ItaliaGetty Images
Inzaghi Jr. has led the club to fourth in Serie A and challenging for the final Champions League place.
Should he lead Lazio to higher than fifth or taste success in Italy’s No.1 domestic cup competition, there is a clause in his contract which triggers an automatic extension to 2019.
This is his first managerial role, having risen through the ranks after managing the club’s youth team.

Inzaghi enjoyed a distinguished playing, career, too — winning the Scudetto with Lazio under Sven Goran Eriksson in the 1999-2000 season.
He stayed with the club for over a decade until his retirement from playing and won the Coppa Italia three times as well as the Uefa Super Cup in 1999.
He was also only the second player — after Marco van Basten — to net four goals in a single Champions League match, when he achieved the feat against Marseille in 2000.
