Napoli director Riccardo Bigon slammed critics of Rafa Benitez, as “his career cannot be put in doubt.”

The Partenopei have one point from their last three Serie A games against Chievo, Udinese and Palermo.

They face Sassuolo today at 11.30 UK time (10.30 GMT), click here for the line-ups.

“Our team over the last two seasons has been attack-minded and in fact we are the only side that plays regularly with four forwards,” Bigon told Sky Sport Italia.

“Last season we scored 104 goals. Balance is important and we are a little forward-heavy, but that just means we have to do even better.

“Benitez is a Coach of immense experience and excellent results. He has won several trophies at clubs without huge tradition.

“Obviously at this moment he is very concentrated and is perhaps not too focused on speaking to the media. In these situations, the best thing is to lock down with the team and work.

“His career and his working methods cannot be put in doubt.”
