Mazarri returns after a decade to replace Frenchman Garcia, who was dismissed for allowing the team to fall ten points behind league leaders Inter Milan.
Garcia was eased out five months after his arrival in Campania.
Aside the club’s performance, Garcia stay has been characterised by controversial circumstances including issues that led to super star Victor Osimhen who was allegedly mocked after he missed penalty earlier in the season.
