Lazio sporting director Igli Tare says the Italian government has no right to order the football season to be cancelled because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Football teams in Italy were allowed to return to individual training this week as the country moves to ease lockdown restrictions.
Although the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) remains hopeful of getting the football season underway again, Sports Minister Vincenzo Spadafora warned clubs said there is "no way" football can be played in the near future.
Tare, however, says the decision should not lie in government hands as clubs are willing to wait several months to return to action.
