Lazio vs Pescara, Italy - Serie A, live match played on Monday, 25 February 2013 at 20:00 GMT.
Lazio have failed to win in five games as they struggle to score goals in the absence of star striker Miroslav Klose.
A first return to Lazio as a Serie A coach should be a joyous occasion for a man who spent seven happy years as a player in Rome, but Bergodi has other things on his mind.
This week Lazio president Claudio Lotito warned potential suitors away from Petkovic, who has defied his modest reputation to lead an unlikely charge for the Scudetto.
While Cristiano Bergodi battles to secure his own future as Pescara coach by keeping the club in Serie A, his Lazio counterpart has been promised a long career at the Stadio Olimpico if he wants to stay.
All the signs indicate Vladimir Petkovic has significantly less pressure on his shoulders than Bergodi, with the Biancocelesti riding high in the league table ahead of Monday's meeting of the two sides, but reports in Italy suggest the Bosnian is not entirely happy in the Italian capital.
Pescara, meanwhile, are in the bottom three and five points from safety having lost five games from six, but have given their backing to Bergodi, for the time being.
Pescara are missing Damiano Zanon, Manuele Blasi and Vladimir Weiss through suspension while Gaetano D'Agostino, Juan Quintero and Ferdinando Sforzini continue to nurse injuries.
