Italian Champions Napoli have hired Walter Mazzarri as their new head coach after firing Rudi García just four months into his tenure, the club's owner Aurelio De Laurentiis announced on Tuesday.
Mazzarri, who previously coached the Italian champions from 2009 to 2013, has reportedly signed a deal until the end of the season.
De Laurentiis announced the move in a post on X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter, saying "Welcome back Walter!"
His hiring brings the short-lived García era to an end, with De Laurentiis seeing Sunday's 1-0 home defeat to Empoli as the final straw.
