According to the latest reports from Il Mattino, Benevento coach Roberto De Zerbi has emerged as a candidate to replace Maurizio Sarri at Napoli, should the current boss decide against extending his spell in charge at the Stadio San Paolo.

The 38-year-old’s approach to football has been praised by many high-profile figures in Italy, despite the fact that Benevento themselves have earned a mere 18 points since being promoted to the top flight after a successful Serie B campaign.

However, with the likes of Carlo Ancelotti, Antonio Conte, Unai Emery and Paulo Fonseca continuing to be linked with a move to the Partenopei, it remains to be seen whether Aurelio De Laurentiis will opt for a more tried and tested tactician. Only time will tell.
