Osimhen’s boss Mazzarri apologizes for Napoli’s 4-0 Coppa Italia defeat

Walter Mazzarri expressed his regret to Napoli fans following their 4-0 loss to Frosinone in the Coppa Italia on Tuesday.

The defeat came as a shock, especially after Napoli’s recent victories over Cagliari and SC Braga in the Champions League.

Mazzarri admitted that the substitutions that called in some of his first team players, including Victor Osimhen, had an unexpected negative impact on the game.

“Perhaps the first choice players are not accustomed to coming off the bench, and absurdly we did better with the lads who don’t play as often.”

He apologized to the fans, while acknowledging their support. “I do not like the way we ended the match, and we will reflect on it together,” Mazzarri said.

Meanwhile, the defeat marked Napoli’s third consecutive exit from the Coppa Italia at the Round of 16 stage.
