‘He’s not like Barca players’ — Peseiro on Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen
Super Eagles manager Jose Peseiro speaks about the prospects of Victor Osimhen joining Barcelona.
Matteo Moretto, a seasoned football reporter, has thrown light on the situation by stating, as reported by Barcablaugranes, "Napoli are seriously considering making a change before Wednesday’s match in Italy." This revelation has stirred the pot, signalling a potential end to Mazzarri's tenure.
A Familiar Face in the Frame
In what could be seen as a strategic pivot, Napoli has reportedly engaged in preliminary discussions with Francesco Calzona, the current Slovakia coach, who is no stranger to the Neapolitan setup.

Having served under the esteemed Maurizio Sarri and Luciano Spalletti, Calzona's familiarity with the club's ethos positions him as a strong candidate to steer the ship amidst turbulent waters.
The notion of altering the managerial guard at such a pivotal juncture of the season is fraught with risks and opportunities alike.
Napoli's domestic campaign has been marred by inconsistency, with the team languishing in ninth place, a shadow of their former title-winning self. The recent 1-1 draw against Genoa has only amplified the scrutiny of Mazzarri's leadership.
