Walter Mazzarri says he's staying as coach of Napoli.

Mazzarri met with president Aurelio de Laurentiis and they confirmed negotiations have started to extend his contract by another year.

"Along with the President we share the need to continue working for Napoli's growth with targeted reinforcements to strengthen the squad in respect of the Financial Fair Play rules and opportunities the market provides us.

"It will be building on what we have done over the last three years."
