Napoli suffered a new defeat, this time at the hands of Torino, with a score of 3-0, in the match of the nineteenth round of the Italian League competitions.
The southern Club played the match with ten players from the 52nd minute after its player Pasquale Mazzocchi received the red card.
Napoli's series of negative results continues in the recent period since coach Walter Mazzarri took over as coach of the Italian club, succeeding the sacked Rudi Garcia.
At the Italian League level, this is the third stumble in a row after losing to Roma and then drawing with Monza.
Overall, this is the sixth defeat that Napoli has suffered during the Mazzarri era out of 10 matches in which he took over the team.
Napoli had bid farewell to the Italian Cup after a heavy defeat by Frosinone 4-0 in the round of 32.
After the defeat against Torino, Napoli fell to ninth place in the Serie A standings with 28 points, after achieving 50 points last season in the same stage, topping the competition standings.
The collapse that Napoli is experiencing domestically comes just a month before facing Barcelona in the round of 16 of the Champions League.
What is certain is that if Napoli does not correct its affairs, it will be an easy prey in the hands of the Catalan club and an easy gateway for Xavi Hernandez's squad to cross into the quarter-finals.
