RB Leipzig have gone to incredible lengths to please Napoli boss Maurizio Sarri - they have 'constructed a special area' inside the away dressing room, just so he can smoke in there.

The cigarette-puffing 59-year-old takes his side to Germany for the second leg of their Europa League last-32 tie on Thursday.

Bundesliga outfit Leipzig hold a 3-1 advantage from the first leg and Napoli will have to score at least three times to seal progression to the last 16.

But Sarri - who was linked with replacing Antonio Conte in the Chelsea job earlier this season - will be able to have a sneaky pre-match smoke, all thanks to a specially installed three-metre wide and three-and-a-half-metre high cabin.

Leipzig have also 'switched off the smoke detectors' in the changing room, claims a report in German outlet Bild.

Napoli were one of the favourites to win the Europa League but have it all to do to avoid elimination at the first knockout stage.

They sit top of Serie A, a point clear of Juventus in what is a two-horse race for the Italian title.

Leipzig are fifth in the Bundesliga but sit just two points behind second-placed Borussia Dortmund.
