The agent of Paolo Cannavaro is certain his client has the ability to break back into the Napoli starting XI.

The club captain has been dropped from the side following the arrival of new boss Rafael Benitez at the Stadio San Paolo.

“Only Benitez knows if Paolo will play as a starter,” Enrico Fedele told Radio Kiss Kiss on Monday afternoon.

“The past matters for nothing, now the player just needs to prove his worth – all other discussions can wait until the end of the season.

“Benitez has made an initial centre-back choice of Albiol and Britos, but I’m certain that Cannavaro will give the Coach something to think about.”

Cannavaro was a key figure in the three-man defence of previous boss Walter Mazzarri. Benitez instead plays with a flat back-four.

The 32-year-old, younger brother of Italy legend Fabio, joined the Azzurri for the second time in his career during the summer of 2006.
