Manager of Bologna of Italy, Sinisa Mihajlovic, wore a pair of blue Off-White X Air Jordan trainers on the touchline - living up to his 'Sneaker King' moniker.

The tactician is famous for his huge taste in sneakers and even wore a very expensive one during the festival with AC Milan star, Zlatan Ibrahimovic earlier this month.

Fans were stunned after the 52-year-old appeared in baby blue Nike trainers during his side’s Serie A clash with Napoli.

Decked out in a flat cap and smart blazer, a quick glance at Mihajlovic's trainers would give a completely different vibe.

The Off-White X Air Jordan Colourways dropped in 2018 and retailed for around £140 at the time.

But their price has skyrocketed in recent years and can be sold for up to £3000.

Meanwhile, Nigerian international Victor Osimhen marked his return into the Napoli squad with a well-taken goal helping his side to a 3-1 home win over Bologna.

The 22-year-old missed his side’s last three games following an injury after he collided with an Atalanta player back in February.

He came on in the 53rd minute of the encounter and it only took him twelve minutes to make it 2-0 for his side after he powered home the ball into the net.

The Super Eagles striker has now scored three goals in the Italian top-flight this season. His last goal in the league was on November 8, 2020. Lorenzo Insigne grabbed a brace in the encounter.

Napoli occupy a sixth place on 47 points in the league table. And Super Eagles boss Gernot Rohr has described Victor Osimhen's debut season at Napoli as unlucky citing injury and coronavirus infection as the major problems.

Legit.ng earlier reported that Cristiano Ronaldo has been in sparkling form for Juventus this season leading the Serie A scorers’ chart with 20 goals in 21 matches in the Italian topflight.

The Portuguese superstar was rested for a number of matches in the past couple of seasons, but at 36, he continues to find the back of the net with ease.

Quite a number of Juventus players are out of action due to injury or the other and the club manager says Ronaldo won’t be rested for now.
