Walter Mazzarri continued his good work from his first season in charge of Napoli to launch a successful, surprise break into the Champions League qualification positions. Following a sixth place finish, the Azzurri held a top four slot for 30 of 2010-11’s 38 weeks, producing some memorable, attacking displays in Mazzarri’s 3-4-1-2 system. Already the biggest club Mazzarri has managed, the task in following this up is perhaps the former Sampdoria man’s biggest challenge, particularly amid a frosty relationship with Aurelio De Laurentiis.
