Maurizio Sarri has again cast his Lazio future into doubt, just over a week before their Coppa Italia final against Inter.

Lazio beat Cremonese 2-1 in Serie A on Monday to move up to eighth in the table, with no chances of finishing in the top six as they sit 11 points behind Como with three games left to play.

However, they could still book their place in the Europa League if they win the Coppa Italia, with the final taking place on May 13.

Sarri, who returned to Lazio in June, has been linked with a move to his former club Napoli, should Antonio Conte choose to leave after being touted for the vacant Italy job.

The 67-year-old has previously hinted that he may not be at Lazio past the end of the season, despite having another year left on his contract.

And when asked again if he had plans to stay, Sarri admitted he had no definite answers.

"Our objective since the start of the season was to work in order to help improve a squad that had only the very smallest chance of getting into the race for Europe," Sarri told DAZN Italia.

"Amid a thousand difficulties, I can say that today we are a different type of team, thanks to that progress. I don't know if this will be the foundations for the future; that is not up to me.

"There are another four games to go, one of which is extremely important. Our minds are only on those.

"After that, we will sit down and talk with the club, then we'll see if we can respect this contract to the end."

Lazio face Inter in Serie A this weekend before clashing again in the Coppa Italia final.

Sarri's team will be looking to win their eighth title in the competition, and their first since 2018-19, when they beat Atalanta in the final.
