The Stadio Olimpico side will supposedly part company with their current trainer at the end of the 2011-12 campaign, with the former Italy international taking over
Lazio are ready to part company with head coach Edy Reja at the end of the season and have lined up Gianfranco Zola as his replacement, Corriere dello Sport reports.
Reja has guided the Biancoceleste to third spot in the Serie A table, but they have been struggling to find their best form in recent weeks.
The Rome side have lost three of their last four league games, and face stiff competition from Napoli and Udinese in the race for third spot.
Reja attempted to resign from his position as head coach earlier this season, but Lazio president Claudio Lotito refused to accept his decision to step down.
Nevertheless, Lotito has now supposedly had enough of Lazio's inconsistency under Reja, and will give the 66-year-old the sack after their last game of the season.
The Lazio supremo has already made a decision on who will replace Reja, as he considers Zola to the perfect man for the job.
The former Chelsea forward has been out of work since getting the sack at West Ham United in the summer of 2010.
