Portuguese sporting director José Boto says football lovers owe Luciano Spalletti.

The PAOK Thessaloniki chief admit he's a fan of Serie A leaders Napoli.

He told TMW: "It is the team that plays the most beautiful football in Europe.

"I don't know if they will win the championship, I think so, but it is the team that makes me sit on the sofa to watch it and have fun.

"Those who love football must thank Spalletti."

Meanwhile, Boto also tips Alberto Aquilani for big things in his coaching career.

He added: "I follow a lot of coaches, I inquire and document myself. One that I really like in Italy is Aquilani, the Florentine Primavera technician. I think he has a great future ahead of him."
