Serie A clubs and many footballers remember Charles Mazzone, former coach who passed away today in Rome at the age of 86. From Francesco Totti to Roberto Baggio, passing through Gigi Buffon and the Italian championship teams that 'Sor Carletto' coached in his career.

Among these also the Napoli, coached in the 1997-98 season for just four games.

“President Aurelio De Laurentiis, Mister Garcia, the managers, the players, the technical staff, the collaborators and all of SSC Napoli express their deepest condolences and join the Mazzone family in mourning the passing of dear Carlo, a true gentleman of football”, the memory of the Neapolitan club on its official channels.At Napoli, Mazzone replaced Bortolo Mutti at the start of the 1997-98 season, a complicated year for the blue colours.

The delicate situation led the coach to resign after just four games: the famous phrase “Not even San Gennaro can save this team”.So it was: Napoli relegated at the end of the year.
