'''Walter Mazzarri''' ({{IPA-it|ˈvalter madˈdzarri}}; born
1961) is an Italian professional [[Association football|football]] manager and former player. He is the [[Manager (association football)|head coach]] of {{Italian football updater|Napoli}} club [[S.S.C. Napoli|Napoli]]. After a 14-year playing career with Italian clubs including [[AC Reggiana 1919|Reggiana]] and [[Empoli FC|Empoli]], Mazzarri coached several smaller Italian sides and in 2007 took up a managerial position with [[UC Sampdoria|Sampdoria]]. With the help of the attacking partnership of [[Antonio Cassano]] and [[Giampaolo Pazzini]], he led the team to qualify for the [[UEFA Cup]] in his first season and subsequently reached the [[Coppa Italia]] final the next year. In 2009, he joined [[SSC Napoli|Napoli]], where he implemented a [[Formation (association football)#3.E2.80.934.E2.80.933|3–4–3 formation]] with which he later became associated. With the attacking trio of [[Ezequiel Lavezzi]], [[Edinson Cavani]] and [[Marek Hamšík]], nicknamed ''I tre tenori'' ("The three tenors"), he helped the team qualify for the [[UEFA Champions League]] for the first time in the club's history in 2011, and won the [[Coppa Italia]] the following season, the club's first trophy in over 20 years. In his final season with the team, he managed a second-place finish in [[Serie A]], the club's best league finish in over 20 years. In 2013, he moved to [[Inter Milan|Inter]] but was sacked halfway through his second season with the club. He later managed [[Torino FC|Torino]] in Serie A, and had one year in charge of [[Watford F.C.|Watford]] in England's [[Premier League]] in [[2016–17 Premier League|2016–17]]. In 2023, after a gap year from his last management for [[Cagliari Calcio|Cagliari]], he returned to [[SSC Napoli|Napoli]].
