Walter Mazzarri will be on the bench for Napoli’s crucial Champions League clash with Chelsea after an appeal on his original suspension was upheld.
The Coach was handed a two-game ban in the competition for his dismissal in the final match of the group stages, when he entered the field of play to push an opposition player – Villarreal’s Nilmar – away from the ball as it went out of play.
