Maurizio Sarri appointed new Napoli manager

Maurizio Sarri takes over as manager of Napoli, following the recent departure of Rafael Benitez to Real Madrid.

Napoli have confirmed the appointment of Maurizio Sarri as the successor to Rafael Benitez.

The 56-year-old, who was born in Naples, resigned as manager of Empoli last week.

Having guided the Azzurri to Serie A promotion in 2014, AC Milan-linked Sarri helped retain his side's top-flight place last season in impressive style.

Napoli disappointingly finished their campaign in fifth place, meanwhile, with Benitez leaving for Real Madrid soon after.
