Mussolini back in Rome: Duce's great-grandson returns to Lazio

SS Lazio has officially brought Romano Floriani Mussolini back to the club after his excellent campaign at Juve Stabia.

The 22-year-old right-back, the great-grandson of the fascist dictator Benito Mussolini, started his career in AS Roma's academy before making the switch to join his beloved Lazio. He has been close to getting his first Serie A minutes with Lazio over the past few years but spent the last two campaigns on loan at Pescara and Juve Stabia.

With the latter, he became a regular starter in the Serie B, registering 37 appearances in all competitions, netting once and adding four assists. Therefore, it's not surprising that Juve Stabia opted to exercise the option to buy him, but Lazio was eager to repurchase the player.

This has been confirmed by a note released on Juve Stabia's official website.

Interestingly, there are three more right-backs in the current Maurizio Sarri squad - Lazzari, Marusic and Hysaj -. Still, they're all older than 30, which could be Mussolini's chance.
