Napoli finished third in Serie A last season and much is expected from them this term, although a return of just three wins from their opening six league matches has been a clear disappointment.
Club president Aurelio De Laurentiis has publicly supported manager Rafael Benitez.
"Benitez is doing a great job with a group that is growing every day without giving up anything until the last," he wrote on his official Twitter page.
"I am also very happy with all the lads who are proving how much they care about the jersey by working with great professionalism."
