Former Palermo and Napoli coach Gianni di Marzio has heaped praise on Jose Mourinho for his early impact with Roma.

Di Marzio was considering this weekend's meeting between Roma and Napoli.

He told TMW: "Mourinho has shown that he is a true leader.

"He has affected the team as (Luciano) Spalletti is doing in Naples. Certainly Napoli in Rome will not play a defensive match.

"(Victor) Osimhen is in top form, he feels he is the leader of the team and with space he can do a lot of harm. It will be a good match and can affect the balance of the championship."
