Napoli boss Mazzarri has touchline ban lifted for Chelsea clash

Napoli manager Walter Mazzarri will be back on the touchline for this week's Champions League meeting with Chelsea.

The Italian tactician had been given a two-match ban by UEFA for pushing Villarreal forward Nilmar during a group stage game in December and upon appealing the suspension, received a further one-match ban which has been suspended for two years.

This leaves Mazzarri free to patrol the Napoli touchline when his side takes on the Blues at Stamford Bridge tomorrow night with a 3-1 lead from the first leg.
