Raffaele Auriemma spoke on Radio CRC during the broadcast “Si Gonfia la Rete” Renzo Ulivieri, former coach among others of Napoli in 1998-99 and today president of the Italian Football Coaches Association and director of the FIGC coaching school. Ulivieri spoke about Walter Mazzarri, close to returning to the Neapolitan bench: the technician from San Vincenzo was his collaborator in the past: “But you know him better than me because he spent many years in Naples.

He was a collaborator of mine and was a goalkeeping coach in Naples, but he was just starting out."

“It's true that he started with me, but if Mazzarri has stuck to my tactical beliefs, he's old! I teach at Coverciano and to do so I have to constantly update myself and Mazzarri has certainly updated himself too.

Mazzarri is an old-fashioned coach, but he wants to update himself and keep up with the times."

“He has always asked a lot of his players: he is not a monster of sympathy seen from the outside, but if you talk to his players, they all love him. – concludes Ulivieri -. Replacing Spalletti after a championship is a difficult task and this was the greatest difficulty. Mazzarri will not change the formation: it will be Spalletti's, I'm sure of it".
