Napoli’s sporting director Riccardo Bigon warns that the Europa League tie with Dynamo Moscow is not a formality.
The Partenopei will play the Russian side in the Last 16 of the competition, following today’s draw in Nyon.
“They’re a team with great tradition,” Bigon told Sky.
“In the group phase they won six games out of six, and it won’t be easy. Now, however, we’re focused on Torino [at the weekend] who will be on a high after the game in Bilbao.

“In the group phase they won six games out of six, and it won’t be easy. Now, however, we’re focused on Torino [at the weekend] who will be on a high after the game in Bilbao.
“Congratulations to them, and also to [Omar] El Kaddouri who is our player [on loan at Torino].”
Bigon also discussed the future of Coach Rafael Benitez, whose contract expires in the summer.
“He’s comfortable with us, he loves the city and the people of Naples, he’s happy.
“Will he leave? That’s a question you’d have to ask him, as far as we’re concerned we just expect him to do what he does every day: work toward our goals with enthusiasm.
“As for the transfer market, the way we work is to do things in conjunction with the Coach.”
