Walter Mazzarri was sacked by Napoli ahead of the match against Barcelona / Francesco Calzona replaced him
“Napoli” reached the 9th place in Serie A, and the draw at the last stage with “Genoa” (1:1) was the match that decided the fate of Walter Mazzarri.
Returning to the Napoli bench last November after replacing Rudi Garcia, Mazzarri failed to right the Neapolitan ship and management took the decision to sack him.
According to the Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Francesco Calzona would have already signed a contract with “Napoli”, while at the same time going to train the national team of Slovakia, Romania’s future opponent in the EURO-2024 groups.
