With Lazio manager Stefano Pioli increasingly under siege, reports are emerging that he is on the chopping block, and a number of names are being considered for the Biancocelesti's bench. 

Calciomercato can exclusively reveal that one of the names being considered is that of Ersun Yanal. The former Fenerbahce, Trabzonspor and Turkey manager has already met Lazio's Director of Sport, Igli Tare, on two occasions, the last time being when the Aquile travelled to Turkey to face Galatasaray. It's early days yet, but Yanal's attacking philosophy is very much appreciated by Lazio's directors. 
Having recently turned down Galarasaray themselves, Yanal is not set to meet president Lotito in the coming weeks.
