Since England's ban on smoking in enclosed public places went into effect a few years ago, football managers who enjoy the rich, lung-blackening taste of a cigar or cigarette have been forced to forego the irony of lighting up while urging on their teams as they engage in physical activity. Guus Hiddink caused a bit of a bother when he smoked a cigar in Chelsea's dressing room at Wembley after winning the FA Cup in 2009, but aside from that, most everyone has respected the ban. Even Carlo Ancelotti.
Napoli manager Walter Mazzarri is a stranger to all this, however. He's also, quite possibly, someone who simply doesn't care. So he openly sucked down some cigarettes during his side's training session at Anfield ahead of their Europa League match against Liverpool.
Fine him if you want. I'm sure he will think it was still worth it.
