Juan-Camilo-Zuniga - NapoliNapoli defender Juan Camilo Zuniga has officially completed a move to Premier League side Watford, meaning a reunion with Walter Mazzarri.

Mazzarri took charge of the English club following the conclusion of the 2015/16 season after Quique Sanchez Flores left, which will be his first coaching post since leaving Inter in 2014, before which he coached Napoli, where he worked with Zuniga.

As announced on the official website of Watford, the signing of the Partenopei defender has been completed, with the 30-year-old joining on loan for the 2016/17 season.

The Hornets will have the option to purchase Zuniga outright at the end of the season.

The Colombian international joined Napoli from Siena in 2009 and has since appeared 162 times for them in all competitions, scoring four goals and assisting a further 19.

While working under Mazzarri, Zuniga and the rest of the Napoli squad won the Coppa Italia in 2012 and came second in Serie A the following season.
