Napoli captain Marek Hamsik admits he didn't get along with former coach Rafa Benitez.

Benitez was named new coach of Real Madrid this week.

"The goodbye to Benitez was normal, with a professional handshake. I am not angry with him, but next season I hope to have more playing time," Hamsik told Slovak reporters on international duty.

"It was a sad campaign. We failed in the semi-finals of the Europa League and Coppa Italia, then went missing for the decisive Champions League game with Lazio.

"Obviously that hurts and we are well aware that we didn't do everything in our power. We are disappointed and it matters little to me that I set a personal record for goals and assists. What really matters is the team."
