Naples (Italy) (AFP)

The Naples football club has announced that it has dismissed Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti on Tuesday night, despite the club's qualification for the knockout stages of the Champions League.

"The club of Naples has decided to remove the coaching charge of the first team to Carlo Ancelotti," tweeted Napoli after the victory against the Belgian team Genk (4-0). However, Naples is only 7th in Serie A after seven games without a win.
