Maurizio Sarri (Italian pronunciation: [mauˈrittsjo ˈsarri]; born 10 January 1959) is an Italian professional football manager who is currently the manager of Napoli.
Son of workers from Tuscany, the father worked at the Italsider in Bagnoli, a district of Naples. Raised in Figline Valdarno, in the province of Florence, he divided his time between the role of amateur football player and banker for Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena in Tuscany, London, Switzerland and Luxembourg.
Sarri worked in the bank in the morning, and trained in the afternoon and evening. In 1999, when he managed the Tegoleto, he decided to quit his job to devote himself exclusively to the coaching career.
Sarri managed a series of minor clubs in Tuscany for more than a decade, and obtained a number of successes at the grassroots level of football. In 2000 he signed for Sansovino, who he led over the course of three years, from regional championships to Serie C2.
His successes with Sansovino won him attention from more important teams: in 2004 he gained promotion in Serie C1 with Sangiovannese.
In 2005 he worked for the first time in Serie B, signing for Pescara.
In the last years signed for several Serie B and Serie C1 clubs. In 2010 he served as head coach of Alessandria in Lega Pro Prima Divisione.
