Coaching career

Napoli was born in Palermo. A former professional player with several Serie A teams, including Juventus F.C., he moved to Romania in 2007 to work as a manager with Liga I outfit Universitatea Craiova. On 5 July 2009, he then accepted an offer from another Liga I club, FC Brașov,[1] only to leave it three weeks later due to family issues.[2]

On 20 August 2009, he signed a one-year contract (with an option for a further one-year extension) with Liga I team Astra Ploiești.[3] He did not finish his contract, being sacked in April 2010.[4] In 2011, he returned to Craiova for a third spell, but was sacked because of poor results.

In September 2012, Napoli came back to Romania, accepting the offer to manage the newly promoted in Liga I, CS Turnu Severin. He signed a contract until the end of the year, and the agreement wasn't renewed.

At the end of June 2013, he signed an agreement on three seasons with Universitatea Craiova club which he returns for the fourth time in his career. He was sacked in February 2014.

On 13 October 2014, he reached an agreement with CSMS Iași.[5]
