I follow Italian football from afar, with no particular allegiance to any team, and I went from wanting Napoli to lose every week under Benitez to actively trying to either watch or at least follow their games live, and that’s down to Sarri.

Your last point, whilst tongue in cheek, is actually a good one! Whilst we’ve had success with other Italians in their first season managing in England, if it doesn’t work out then we move on to the next coach.
