Napoli are poised to welcome Francesco Calzona into its coaching ranks as he prepares to sign a contract with the club, with his debut expected to come in a high-stakes match against Barcelona.
According to reports by Matteo Moretto, a renowned transfer pundit, Calzona is set to finalize his Napoli contract today. The Italian tactician is anticipated to arrive in Naples this morning to formalize the agreement, which is said to extend until the end of the current season.
News of Calzona’s imminent signing follows earlier reports indicating that he had reached a ‘total agreement’ with Napoli, signaling a significant development in the club’s managerial landscape.
Moretto further asserts that there is no doubt Calzona will take his place in the Napoli dugout for the pivotal Champions League Round of 16 clash against Barcelona, scheduled to take place at the Stadio Maradona on Wednesday.
In a parallel development, Sky Sport Italia has highlighted today, Monday, February 19, as a potentially decisive day for the future of current Napoli coach, Walter Mazzarri.
According to insights provided by journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Mazzarri is reportedly unaware of any impending dismissal and is expected to conduct a training session later in the day. However, speculations persist that Aurelio De Laurentiis, Napoli’s president, could meet with Calzona in the late morning, hinting at a potential shift in the managerial hierarchy of the club.
