Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis congratulated coach Rafa Benitez for their Super Cup win over Juventus.

Benitez's new contract talks continue to drag on.

ADL remarked: "Benitez was faultless in the final, he showed I was right to appoint him!.

"Rafa is a gentleman, he can teach football, but you have to have patience to wait for his methods to bear fruit.

"This match will spur us on in the next two weeks [during the winter break], now we have the League and we'll try to improve the team in the transfer market."
