Former Bayern Munich chief exec Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has heaped praise on Napoli and the work of their management team.

Napoli are running away with the Serie A title, while they won 2-0 at Eintracht Frankfurt in the first-leg of their Champions League round of 16.

Rummenigge told Il Corriere dello Sport: "I like Napoli, and I like (Victor) Osimhen, I also like the coach a lot. His hand is noticeable in Napoli, it cannot be said that he has famous players, by name, and this gives even more value to his work."

Asked if Bayern had ever approached Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, he said: "Until I was there, no. And when (Robert) Lewandowski left last summer, Bayern had already signed (Sadio) Man, who has a different role and characteristics.

"The club felt the need to change tactically, they were looking for something again."
