New Napoli coach: it's official that Mazzarri is back, because De Laurentiis chose him

New Napoli coach, the live broadcast of the decisive day for the fate of the Azzurri bench waiting now that the dismissal of Rudi Garcia has been made official who in the last few hours – also thanks to the break for the national teams – left the city to return to France.
The defeat at home against Empoli was the classic straw that broke the camel's back, with owner Aurelio De Laurentiis who, after letting off steam immediately after the match in the Diego Armando Maradona locker room, apparently made the decision to sack Rudi Garcia.
The inevitable list of names for the Napoli bench immediately began, with the hottest name initially being that of Igor Tudor who, however, would not accept a contract of just seven months.
The June 2024 deadline instead satisfied Walter Mazzarri, with Napoli who will then try to bring one of Francesco Farioli, Raffaele Palladino and Vincenzo Italiano to Fuorigrotta for next season.
Walter Mazzarri's return was announced in a tweet by Aurelio de Laurentiis, while the club announced Rudi Garcia's dismissal in just a few lines.
