Where does the “Mazzarri Checks the Time” meme come from?
Walter Mazzarri, born in 1961 in San Vincenzo, is a coach known for spells at Napoli, Inter, Watford, Torino and Cagliari. On the touchline his very expressive body language and repeated looks at his wrist were cut into images and GIFs by Italian fans, who turned them into a ready-made reaction for social media. The meme works without a precise context: a picture of the coach checking his watch is enough for everyone to read the impatience.
