The weight of the Scudetto triumphantly won last year by Luciano Spalletti was impossible to bear for his successor, Rudi Garcia: less than six months later, Napoli changes again, exonerating the French coach and recalling Walter Mazzarri to the bench, Livorno coach recently a bit disappeared from the radar of great football but whose memory for the Italian fans is still indelible. Garcia pays for the disappointing results (most recently, the 0-1 home win against Empoli), a fourth place that would be acceptable if only it did not come after last year's triumphant ride, but above all a game very distant relative of the sparkling one of Spalletti's Napoli. To replace Garcia, Aurelio de Laurentiis seemed to have put Igor Tudor in his sights, author of a proactive 3-4-3, but in the end, he won the safe second-hand: Walter Mazzarri, greeted on social media by the president with a "Welcome back mister". The Livorno native has already led the team from 2009 to 2013, when Maradona was still São Paulo, leading it to a fourth place in Serie A and qualification for the Champions League, as well as a good victory in the Coppa Italia in 2012. But those were different times and then fourth place was already an excellent result. His was a Napoli capable of entertaining by playing from the throw-in, with talents such as Lavezzi, Cavani and Hamsik up front, and tenacious at the back, with the various Paolo Cannavaro, Aronica. Mazzarri was chosen precisely because of his experience and knowledge of the Napoli environment.
