Napoli hopes they have indeed pulled the correct lever as Francesco Calzona, their third manager of the season, leads the Partenopei in his first home match in charge, hosting Juventus at the Maradona on Sunday.

Calzona replaced the sacked Walter Mazzarri last week, who had only been installed three months prior after the departure of Rudi Garcia. The managerial turmoil comes as Napoli looks to turn around their woeful title defense, wholly unable to recapture the magic of last season's historic Scudetto run.

Napoli then drew 1-1 with Cagliari on the road before exploding to life at Sassuolo where they pulverized their opponents 6-1 on a hat-trick from Victor Osimhen and two more off the feet of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
