Former Napoli defender Paolo Cannavaro says the players must take responsibility for their disappointing season.

Cannavaro, however, doesn't doubt their commitment.

He told TMW: "It was a bit too troubled a year, it's not easy when you change three coaches.

"It's the fault of the coaches but there's also the fault of the players who are now trying to react to get to a complicated qualification Champions League completed.

"Has anyone pulled the plug thinking about the transfer market? I don't think so at all, there was a heavy backlash in having started as Italian champions and having found themselves with all the difficulties, even the initial ones."
