This is coming following the sacking of Walter Mazzarri after a poor run with the Partenopei which has left the Italian Kings 27 points behind toppers, Inter.
The Napoli President said, “I thank Walter Mazzarri, a friend of the De Laurentiis family and Welcome Francesco Calzona.”
Mazzarri is leaving Napoli on the 9th spot of the table with 36 points, while leaders, Inter, have amassed 63 points.
Di Laurentiis said: “I thank Walter Mazzarri, a friend of the De Laurentiis family and of Napoli, for supporting the team in a complex moment. It will remain in the hearts of Neapolitans and our family. Welcome back to Francesco Calzona, who has already worked with us with both Sarri and Spalletti.”
