Napoli have fired Walter Mazzarri after training overnight and elevated assistant coach Francesco Calzona, who is Slovakia's national manager.
Mazzarri had replaced Rudi Garcia - appointed after title-winning coach Luciano Spalletti requested a sabbatical at the end of the title-winning season and was subsequently made Italy coach - in November.
Napoli, in ninth place in the table and 27 points behind leaders Inter Milan, are the first Serie A team to change coaches twice in the season after winning the league.
