We no longer need to speculate about Napoli new coach, as I mentioned before, that Napoli has appointed Francesco Calzona as their new coach already. He also made his debut as Napoli coach in the UCL vs Barcelona match with the final score 1 - 1. A result that could be said to be good with minimal preparation have for Calzona. If this is not the "luck" result, then there is a sign or a chance for Napoli to improve their game in Serie A.
Francesco Calzona had a tough job and indeed he made a brilliant debut in the Champions League. Holding Barcelona to a draw in the first leg of the round of 16 was not easy for Francesco Calzona, of course because of the differences in quality and strategy between the two teams. Barcelona dominated attacks, while Napoli only focused on defending while taking advantage of Barcelona's mistakes.
Francesco Calzona certainly has the same plans as the previous Napoli coach, but the challenge he accepts is so great that he is likely to fail due to experience. I believe Francesco Calzona can have a positive impact on Napoli's game in Serie A, but in the Champions League it looks like Barcelona will be the team that advances to the quarter-finals.
