ROME, Jan 8 - Napoli signed left back Andrea Dossena on Friday, ending his two years of misery at Liverpool with a deal that runs until 2014. The 28-year-old joined the Premier League side from Udinese in a much-hyped move in 2008 but soon fell out of favour with manager Rafael Benitez and barely played, losing his place in the Italy squad in the process. "I'm happy to be able to wear the Napoli shirt," he told the website (www.sscnapoli.it) of the ambitious club, fourth in Serie A after a strong revival under new coach Walter Mazzarri. "I chose a prestigious club that has an important plan."
