Napoli fires Rudi Garcia and chooses a new coach. The bench is entrusted to Valter Maxarri. The agreement was reached and is valid until June 2024.
Maxarri returns to lead Napoli for the second time in his career, 10 years after his first experience. In the past, the technician managed the blues from 2009 to 2013. They were four seasons of high level and significant achievements.
Historic results, such as the triumph in Turin against Juventus for the first time in 21 years, while the team also recorded a return to the Champions League after two decades.
An impressive performance, where they qualified even though they had teams like Bayern, Manchester City and Villarreal in the group. With names like Hamsik, Laveci and Cavani, they made Chelsea suffer, which would be the future champion of Europe.
That season ended in sixth place in the league, but on 20 May 2012, Maxarri's Napoli won the Coppa Italia against Juventus. It was the first time in 22 years that the Blues received this trophy.
The 2012-2013 season was the last for the coach on the Napoli bench. Although they lost the Italian Super Cup in Beijing against Juventus, they finished second in the championship, qualifying directly for the Champions League.
In the summer, Maxarri said goodbye and went to Inter, but undoubtedly in those four years he wrote one of the most important pages in the history of the club. (A2 Televizion)
