Rafael Benitz and Napoli have engaged in extension discussions.

Benitez was appointed in 2013 and helped lead Napoli to a third place finish in Serie A last season.

Benitez's current deal is due to expire in June, but he has revealed talks have already taken place with president Aurelio De Laurentiis to prolong his stay in Naples.

"I have one year left this year and the future you never know, but I am talking with the chairman, thinking about the future with Napoli and life and all the possibilities," he told Sky Sports.
