Napoli is leading the Serie A this season, with a 16-point lead over second-placed Lazio, and with only nine rounds of league matches remaining, the suspense of winning the title has almost dissipated. The club has begun to plan a celebration to honor the late Argentinean soccer great by engraving the name of the legendary Diego Maradona on the league trophy.
Napoli's soccer history has twice won the championship, respectively in the 1986/87 and 1989/90 seasons, in the era of Maradona's leadership, the team was invincible, that period of time is known as the glorious chapter in the history of Napoli's soccer, and Maradona also became the hero of the fans.
After 33 years, Napoli is once again on the podium of the Serie A championship, and the club wanted to share this joy with the soccer legend by engraving Maradona's name forever after winning the league trophy.
It is worth mentioning that Maradona helped Napoli win the 1988/89 F.A. Cup (the predecessor of the UEFA Cup), which was the only European championship in the team's history. This season, Napoli advanced to the last 8 of the UEFA Europa League, and if they can capitalize on their success, they will surpass Maradona's era.
