Francesco Calzona said on Tuesday that he has no fear of Barcelona as he prepares to take charge of Napoli for the first time in a huge Champions League tie.
The 55-year-old became Napoli's third coach of the season after replacing sacked Walter Mazzarri on Monday night, just 48 hours before hosting Barca in Wednesday's last 16, first leg clash in Naples.
"I told the players that we don't have any more excuses, we need to do better and Barca are a good team, one of the best around in Europe," Calzona told reporters.
"We're not scared because we're Napoli but no-one can deny that they have great players and a top coach."
