Marusic Keeps Climbing Lazio’s All Time List And Opens The Chase For Lulic's Record

Coaches change, systems change, teammates come and go. Adam Marusic simply stays. And in Cagliari, the Montenegrin full back added another chapter to a career built on consistency, reaching 342 appearances for Lazio and drawing level with club icon Aldo Puccinelli in the all time rankings.

The next step is immediate. With his very next outing, Marusic will move past Puccinelli outright, turning his focus to a target that suddenly feels realistic: Senad Lulic’s 371 Lazio appearances. It is not a record that will fall overnight, but the trajectory is clear, and it could be within reach next season if Marusic maintains his usual availability.

Since arriving in the summer of 2017, Marusic has never needed noise around him to prove his value. He has earned trust the hard way, through reliability, tactical discipline, and the willingness to play almost anywhere on the flank. Right back, left back, wing back, wide midfielder when needed, the job gets done with the same low profile approach. In a Lazio squad that has lived through different eras and different identities, he has remained one of the few true constants.

That dependability is also why he continues to rack up minutes even in a season full of injuries and forced rotation. While others have come in and out of the lineup, Marusic has regularly been one of Sarri’s safest options, a player the coach can plug into the structure without needing to redesign the system.

There is also a leadership angle. In a dressing room where several contract situations remain unresolved, Marusic has already taken a clear position by agreeing to extend his deal early, giving the club a rare note of stability during a period of uncertainty. It is a simple signal, but an important one: he is still committed, still present, and still climbing.

For Lazio supporters, Marusic’s story is not about headlines or highlight reels. It is about longevity and trust. He has become part of the fabric of the modern club, and now the numbers are starting to reflect it.
