Speculation that former Napoli and Inter Milan coach Walter Mazzarri could soon be coaching in England has mounted after reports said he is living with a family in Manchester to improve his English.

Mazzarri led Napoli to runner-up spot behind Juventus in 2013 but the coach's move north to Inter was less fruitful and he was sacked by the Nerazzurri in November 2014.

Mazzarri, who will be paid by Inter until June 2016, moved to England in June, according to the calciomercato.it website.

The report said Mazzarri moved to Manchester primarily "to follow" the city's Premier League clubs, City and United, but also to improve his English "on site".

Mazzarri is reported to be living with an English family in the city and is being taught English by Sean Warren, who works with United's Academy youths.
