Cagliari and Walter Mazzarri bury the hatchet. A year and a half after the dismissal of the coach, two weeks ago the parties resolved the dispute , with a civil and criminal settlement, with the rossoblù club assisted by the lawyer Leandro Cantamessa. An agreement veiledly announced by the coach himself, in a long interview with Corriere dello Sport.

Mazzarri, followed in the matter by the lawyer Mattia Grassani, overlooked what happened during his unfortunate experience on the rossoblù bench, remembered only for his 720 games as coach.

Called up on 15 September 2021 by president Tommaso Giulini after just three days to replace Leonardo Semplici on the Cagliari bench, Mazzarri led the rossoblù for thirty-two championship games. For him just 6 wins, 9 draws and 17 defeats , with the worst points average of his career (0.84) and third to last place in the standings. The home defeat against Verona and a clash with the president himself the following day were fatal .

Precisely the harsh face to face with the owner and the accusations of having insulted the players were cited as the just cause for Mazzarri's dismissal . The official announcement was made on 2 May, with a statement of just a few lines: «Cagliari Calcio announces that it has relieved Walter Mazzarri of his role as first team coach». In his place was Alessandro Agostini, while the parties went through legal proceedings, with the coach demanding the money from a contract expiring in June 2024 and Cagliari being relegated to the cadets at the end of the season. Now, 18 months later, peace to the satisfaction of Mazzarri and the rossoblù club.
