Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has revealed that he has urged manager Rafael Benitez to stay with the club.

The Spaniard's future at the Stadio San Paolo remains unclear amid rumours that he could take charge at Premier League champions Manchester City in the summer.

However, De Laurentiis is eager for the 55-year-old former Liverpool, Chelsea and Inter Milan boss to continue his reign with Napoli.

"I told him: 'You can stay one more year or five more years, if you're able to convince your family'," he is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News.

Benitez took charge of Napoli in 2013 following a spell as Chelsea's interim manager.
