Walter Mazzarri's Second Stint as Napoli Coach Ends

It's already over: three months or so after his (second) arrival on the bench of Napoli, Walter Mazzarri is already a former azzurro coach. The club announced it through the official channels with the usual presidential tweet: 'I thank Walter Mazzarri, a friend of the De Laurentiis family and of Napoli, for having supported the team in a complex moment. He will remain in the hearts of the Neapolitans and our family. Welcome back to Francesco Calzona, who has already worked with us both with Sarri and Spalletti' it reads. A dismissal consumed in the last hours, after Saturday's draw against Genoa that had left a bitter taste. The club did not think it would have to replace Mazzarri in such a delicate moment and before the match with Barcelona, then the talks with Francesco Calzona until the agreement reached in these hours and the official farewell to the Tuscan. So he won't be there with Barcelona. The pact with the former deputy of Sarri and Spalletti is clear: to complete this season, chase the Champions and then we'll see. The goal is to also bring Sinatti home. Mazzarri's second Neapolitan career closes after just 17 matches: 8 victories, 6 defeats and three draws put together. The elimination from the Coppa Italia and the lost Supercoppa final still burn.
