Walter returned to the Neapolitan club after more than 10 years
Italian Champion Napoli officially announced his separation from the head coach Rudy Garcia and immediately appointed to this post Walter Mazzarri.
Let us remember that 59-year-old Garcia headed the Partenopei in June 2023, replacing the departed Luciano Spalletti (the current allenator of the Italian national team) in this position. Under the French specialist, the reigning champions of Italy have gained 21 points in 12 rounds of Serie A and are ten points behind leader Inter. In the Champions League, Napoli are in second place after four group stage games.
In the last round of the Italian Championship, the Partenopei lost to Empoli (0:1). The only goal in the match was scored by Ukrainian midfielder Viktor Kovalenko.
62-year-old Mazzarri already coached Napoli from 2009 to 2013. This mentor managed to lead the southerners to bronze and silver in Serie A, and at the same time won the 2012 Copa Italia. Under him, Napoli began to be seen as a real championship contender for the first time since the 1980s.
After the Neapolitan club, Walter coached Inter, Watford, Torino and Cagliari. I have been unemployed since May 2022.
In the first match after Mazzarri’s return, Napoli will play away at Atalanta on November 25. Four days later, the Neapolitans will play the match of the 5th round of the Champions League against Real Madrid.
