According to sources in Italy, Calzona has agreed to a contract until the end of the season with Napoli while continuing to lead Slovakia's national team.
Napoli's immediate focus now shifts to their upcoming UEFA Champions League encounter against Barcelona in the last-16 first-leg tie scheduled for Wednesday.
Calzona, who assumed the role of Slovakia's boss in August 2022, played a pivotal role in guiding the nation to qualification for this summer's European Championship in Germany.
