BRIEF-Soccer-Napoli end Dossena's Liverpool nightmare

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."
