Walter Mazzarri is no longer the coach of Napoli. Taking his place is Francesco Calzona, the coach of Slovakia and former assistant of Maurizio Sarri. The announcement was made by Aurelio De Laurentiis on Sky Sport: 'Walter Mazzarri is a friend of the De Laurentiis family and especially a friend of Napoli, and it's always painful to fire a friend, I thanked him because he was very willing to come to our aid in a time of difficulty, but we must also consider that at Napoli and to Napoli's fans we must always be able to give something more and now we try to give it with Calzona who has worked first with Sarri and then with Spalletti and knows 80% of our players'.

Calzona new coach of Napoli, how will he play? 4-3-3, pressing and building from the back: what we know

The coach of Slovakia will lead the first training tomorrow, he will hold the double role at least until June. 'Is betting on him a smart choice? Time is a gentleman, we will see', De Laurentiis said. 'Hamsik? I couldn't reach him today, yesterday he told me he would be very intrigued to return', concluded the president of Napoli.
