Kalidou Koulibaly wants Rafael Benitez to stay at Napoli

Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly urges Rafael Benitez to stay on as manager, amid speculation linking him with Manchester City.

Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly has expressed his hope that manager Rafael Benitez will stay at the club next season.

The former Liverpool and Chelsea boss is out of contract in the summer and has been linked with a return to the Premier League with Manchester City.

Benitez has guided the Serie A club to the Italian Super Cup this season and fifth spot in the league, and Koulibaly has told the 54-year-old that he should continue his work with the Partenopei.

"This is a personal matter but I would do anything to convince him to stay," talkSPORT quotes Koulibaly as saying.

"But our performance is not affected by doubts about his stay in Naples."

Benitez took charge of Napoli in 2013.
