Chievo have signed defender Alessandro Gamberini from Napoli on a two-year deal.

The 32-year-old former Bologna and Fiorentina centre-back could spend three years at the Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi should the Flying Donkeys exercise an option to extend his contract by a further season.

Gamberini admitted he was particularly keen to renew his working relationship with close friend and fellow centre-back Dario Dainelli, his team-mate at Fiorentina for five years.

He told chievoverona.it: "Chievo flattered me, showing me a lot of love, and so I agreed to wear this shirt with a lot of enthusiasm.
