Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti has explained naming Giovanni Di Lorenzo as new captain.

Di Lorenzo steps up after the departure of Lorenzo Insigne for Toronto FC.

Spalletti said, "It was an easy choice, he has the qualities to relate to his teammates and opponents.

"We also have a WhatsApp group in the which we often confront, it is called 'I'll be with you'.

"I used it in the matches in which I was forced to stay at home like the away match against Juventus."
