Italy's World Cup winning captain Fabio Cannavaro hopes Walter Mazzarri proves a success with Napoli.
Mazzarri has taken charge at Napoli to June after the sacking of Rudi Garcia last week.
Naples local Cannavaro said, "Let's hope, the next matches are not simple, on paper they are very difficult, beyond the coach, who is new, the players will have to bring out that pride of champions to revive a situation that is not good.
"Not so much for the standings, but I can't watch the match against Empoli and think that five or six months earlier they won (the Scudetto). There's a block and they have to bring out the best to have more serenity after the Scudetto.
"The head is always the most important, then there is the technical-tactical concept that one has and tries to transfer. (Luciano) Spalletti has already shown something in the national team. For those who know the coach, even if he is old, he tries to play super-modern football. For Mazzarri in the next matches the approach with the players will be fundamental, there is little time."
