Napoli secured a return to the Champions League group stages as Jose Callejon and Lorenzo Insigne's second-half goals earned a 2-0 win at Nice for a 4-0 aggregate triumph.
Nice had it all to do if they were to qualify for the competition proper for the first time since 1959-60 but in truth they were second-best for much of Tuesday's encounter at the Allianz Riviera.
Napoli, who won their group last season before being dumped out by eventual champions Real Madrid in the last 16, could have extended their overall advantage before the interval with Kalidou Koulibaly, Insigne and Callejon all going close.
