Trezeguet: Mazzarri stopped me from joining Napoli

The former France international thought that his experience would be an attractive asset to the southern Italian club, but the transfer was vetoed by the 50-year-old.David Trezeguet revealed that he was poised to join Napoli, only for Partenopei coach Walter Mazzarri to veto the deal.The Frenchman, currently plying his trade in Argentina with River Plate, endured an unhappy stint with Baniyas after leaving Hercules last summer.The 34-year-old has now disclosed that he was on the verge of joining the San Paolo club, but was prevented from doing so."It could have been a positive experience, not only for the city, but also because Napoli were competing on three fronts, and had little experience in Europe," he told Sky Italia."I thought I might be able to bring something extra to an already competitive team, but they told me that their coach didn't agree."Napoli are currently six points adrift of Lazio, who occupy the final Champions League place.
