Napoli ‘keeper Pepe Reina is confident boss Rafael Benitez can deliver silverware at the San Paolo this season.

Benitez was netted by the Azzurri as a replacement for the Inter-bound Walter Mazzarri and Reina, who worked with his fellow Spaniard at Liverpool, can sense success.

“By training with him again, it seems that nothing has changed,” the goalkeeper, who is on loan from the Premiership club, told Sky Sport Italia.

“I feel the same atmosphere and winning mentality that characterised our experience in Liverpool. We are working hard to improve.”

Napoli, who finished second last season, have started the campaign with wins over Bologna and Chievo Verona. They entertain Atalanta this weekend.
