Newcastle boss Benitez: Napoli can handle Liverpool group

Newcastle United boss Rafa Benitez believes Napoli will be okay in their Champions League group.

Another of Benitez's former teams, Liverpool, are also in the group.

He said, "With Napoli we amassed 12 points and we couldn't qualify. It is a very complicated group; Liverpool are still undefeated in the Premier League, the potential of PSG is well-known, and Red Star has really interesting young players who gave The Reds a surprise. Napoli, however, have already proved that they can achieve their goal."

Benitez was then asked about the possibility of returning to take the helm in Naples.

"I am still young and I would like to continue coaching. Of course, I will never forget Napoli. Back in England I speak of its beauty that, unfortunately, many people do not know."
