Walter Mazzarri returns to a Serie A bench, and does so from the main door. The former Cagliari coach is the new manager of Napoli . The owner of the Neapolitans, Aurelio De Laurentiis, chose him instead of Rudi Garcia .

The Frenchman's dismissal was inevitable after the last home defeat against Empoli: beyond fourth place, with ten points behind the top after only twelve matchdays, the feeling with the team never blossomed.

After also evaluating Igor Tudor, the president chose Mazzarri, who accepted a contract lasting only seven months, valid until June 2024 . A temporary choice, as a ferryman, waiting to think again about a more important name in the summer (Conte?).

But in the meantime, the Tuscan coach returns to Naples after ten years. He had already sat on the Italian bench, with excellent results, between 2009 and 2013. Then the move to Inter. In the 2021-22 championship, the unfortunate parenthesis at Cagliari, with six wins, nine draws and seventeen defeats, which effectively led the Sardinians to relegation. Now the new, prestigious, adventure.
