The Serie A powerhouse have appointed ex- Italy manager Luciano Spalletti as their manager for the rest of the term.
The 66-year-old steps in for Igor Tudor, who was let go post the Lazio setback recently.
Tudor had joined the club in March as Thiago Motta's replacement but left after seven months following a string of eight matches without a victory.
Under Spalletti, Napoli clinched the Serie A championship in 2022-23 before taking charge of Italy, after the team's failure to reach the 2022 World Cup under former boss Roberto Mancini.
He helped them qualify for Euro 2024 where they were knocked out in the last 16 by Switzerland.
Nonetheless, Italy dismissed Spalletti in June post a qualifying defeat against Norway, putting Italy in danger of missing a third straight World Cup.
Spalletti has also managed Inter Milan, Roma and Udinese in Serie A and secured two Russian Premier League titles with Zenit St Petersburg.
Massimo Brambilla served as interim manager for Juventus for their 3-1 win against Udinese on Wednesday placing them seventh in the Serie A standings - trailing leaders Napoli by six points after nine matches.
They are 25th in the league phase of the Champions League, with one loss and two draws in their first three games.
