Napoli owner Aurelio De Laurentiis has told unsettled coach Carlo Ancelotti he 'can stay for another 10 years.'
The Serie A contenders have not won the Italian title since 1990 and already trail leaders Juventus by six points after seven matches this season, having finished 11 points behind the champions in Ancelotti's first season in charge.
There were reports recently that Ancelotti could leave the club before the end of his contract if his players don't step up for a title challenge
But De Laurentiis dismissed reports of a rift with the 60-year-old.
'In recent days I've seen it all in important newspapers, even if no-one reads newspapers anymore,' De Laurentiis told Sky Sport Italia.
'I didn't fight with Ancelotti, he can stay here for another 10 years. In cinema, my relationships, like my one with [director Carlo] Verdone, last a long time.
'I'm all for the exclusives, when you want everything right away but get it all wrong.'
