Napoli has sacked its manager Carlo Ancelotti just hours after he helped the Serie A side seal qualification for the Champions League knockout phase.
“Napoli has decided to revoke the role of first-team manager Carlo Ancelotti,” part of the club statement read.
“The friendship, esteem and mutual respect between the club, its president Aurelio De Laurentiis and Carlo Ancelotti remain intact.”
Ancelotti joined Napoli in the summer of 2018 and led the club to second-place finish in his debut season.
