Sevilla signing Luca Cigarini has taken a swipe at former club Napoli.

Cigarini has rapped Napoli boss Walter Mazzarri for prompting his move abroad.

"I am so happy at this transfer and cannot wait to play in the Champions League," said the Italian Under-21 international.

"I hope to settle in soon. Morgan De Sanctis spoke highly of the city and the team when I asked him about Spain.

"I didn't have space to play at Napoli because there was a Coach who had some very specific ideas.

"I thank Sevilla for giving me this opportunity. I am here to prove myself all over again."
