Empoli stunned everyone by winning 1-0 against a top-tier team like Napoli. This was the one of the reason the Parthenopeans president, Aurelio de Laurentiis and the board relieved Rudi Garcia from his position as headcoach. No one expected Empoli to win because they are fighting to avoid relegation this season. due to the fact that no team is impenetrable in tournaments, all teams will lose. They can strive equally challenging as they can to balance the scores and hit higher than expected, but they can still complete an unbeaten streak.
Honestly and with all the sincerity of which I am capable, I would never have bet a euro on Empoli. Not only is the difference in strength of the roster of players different and not comparable, but also the difference in club, coach and management. They are really two teams of different sizes, it`s like David defeating Goliath.
But strangely, Napoli actually appointed Walter Mazzarri as a replacement for Rudi Garcia, and I don't think Walter Mazzarri has a good record as a head coach. Because after all, the fact is that the last team for Walter Mazzarri as head coach was Cagliari, and Walter Mazzarri also did not last long there maybe the bad results he experienced. Although indeed, it seems that Walter Mazzarri is also not new to Napoli, because in the past the fact that Walter Mazzarri had become Napoli head coach in the 2009 to 2013 season, and during that period Walter Mazzarri managed to improve Napoli performance by successfully finishing in a better position in each season. But ya, although Walter Mazzarri has good experience at Napoli in the past, but I think at this moment it is still not easy for Walter Mazzarri to provide fast and good results for Napoli, but let's wait.
Yeah.. Napoli's appointment of Walter Mazzarri as a replacement for Rudi Garcia invites turbulence of opinions among fans and pundits. He has a reputation for being a somewhat volatile and demanding manager. But Mazzarri also has a proven track record of success at Napoli. During his previous spell as head coach from 2009 to 2013, he managed to improve the team's performance, leading them to a third-place finish in Serie A in 2011 and a second-place finish in 2013. He also reached the Coppa Italia final in 2012.
Napoli appointing Mazzarri will see him recapture the magic of his previous spell in charge. He is a passionate and motivated coach who knows the club and the city well. Of course, there are also no guarantees of success. Mazzarri's methods may not be as effective as they once were, and he may struggle to manage the expectations of the fans and the board. This appointment is a gamble for Napoli. There are risks involved, but there are also potential rewards. It's a decision that has divided opinion, but it will be interesting to see how it plays out.
