Rafael Benitez praises Seedorf impact

Napoli manager Rafael Benitez believes that the appointment of Clarence Seedorf as AC Milan coach will benefit Serie A.

Napoli manager Rafael Benitez believes that the appointment of Clarence Seedorf as AC Milan coach will benefit Serie A.

Seedorf takes his Milan side to the Stadio San Paolo on Saturday as Napoli look to avoid a third straight defeat in a week.

Before the game, Benitez told reporters: "Milan are a squad that has strength and quality. We know that we will face a strong opponent and we have to do our best if we hope to get the positive result that we seek.

"As I see it, Seedorf and I are coaches who handle the concept of a more proactive game.

"This is something I consider very positive for Serie A and the Italian football image in the international arena."

Napoli are third in Serie A, while Milan are 10th.
