Alessandro Nesta
A financial scandal involving Cragnotti and his food products multinational Cirio forced him to leave the club in 2002, and Lazio was controlled until 2004 by caretaker financial managers and a bank pool. This forced the club to sell their star players and even the "symbol" of the club – club captain Alessandro Nesta – in quick succession. Lazio was subsequently sold to entrepreneur Claudio Lotito, who is the current majority share owner.
