Napoli coach Walter Mazzarri believes Juventus are favourites to win Serie A this season - but also insists that there are a host of teams capable of lifting the title, including his own side.
The Naples club currently occupy third place in the league after securing an impressive 3-0 away victory against Inter last weekend.
But the 50-year-old has stated that current leaders Juventus are the team most likely to win the Scudetto this season.
"Gigi Buffon says Napoli are strong but are in Europe, so he is right. Watch out for Roma too, but I consider Juventus to be the Scudetto favourites. After that, Milan, Inter, Roma, Lazio, us and then Fiorentina," Mazzarri told Corriere dello Sport.
Mazzarri, who had spells in charge of Sampdoria and Reggina amongst others, also spoke of how it feels to be earning plaudits for his coaching ability.
"For a long time I was underestimated as a coach, so now it is pleasing and also embarrassing to hear all these compliments," he added.
"The success of a coach also depends on his players and the club. I think by now I have enough experience to deal with anything.
"It's my eighth year in Italy and, sooner or later, I'd like to work overseas. I had many offers this summer, but never seriously considered leaving Napoli."
