Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis admits he's proud to oversee the club's resurgence.

In 2004, Napoli went bust before the movie mogul formed a new club from their ashes which had to start again in the Italian Third Division.

"Seven years ago I bought a piece of paper for €30m," he told Italian TV show Porta a Porta. "At the start I knew nothing about football.

"At that stage the club were ranked at 300th in the world, but now we are placed 19th in those standings."
