S.S.C Napoli Official Topic

It has been a long hard trek, but Napoli are now back amongst Italy's big boys. The city that elected Diego Armando Maradona as a deity with murals on every house had been starved of top flight football for years, but even after their bankruptcy and restart in Serie C in 2004, there were on average 50,000 supporters packing into the San Paolo.

The glory days of Napoli are the late 1980s and early 90s, when Maradona reigned supreme with Antonio Careca, Ciro Ferrara, Andrea Carnevale and Salvatore Bagni. The first Scudetto arrived on May 10, 1987, when El Pibe de Oro was fresh from Argentina’s 1986 World Cup triumph. That year they also became the first team since Il Grande Torino and Juventus to do the Double with the Coppa Italia.

In 1989-90 Luciano Moggi took control and brought in more talents like Alemao and a young Gianfranco Zola for their second title, snatched from the grasp of Arrigo Sacchi’s Milan, and the UEFA Cup, followed by a crushing 5-1 Italian Super Cup victory over Juventus.

Maradona’s decline and departure coincided with some disastrous financial mismanagement and Napoli slowly crumbled until their relegation to Serie B and later bankruptcy in 2004. Movie mogul Aurelio De Laurentiis constructed an all-new club that within three years had climbed back into Serie A.

See, Napoli's glorious days consists of four italian trophies and one european cup. Imagine right after their rise a take-over occurred, it would give them ability to consistently compete for glory, but that does not mean that Napoli are a teamh made by money. Right?

these r Napoli glory days cause it's the only one they have , but compared to Chelsea's recent success their 90's is nothing

plus ur comparing urself to Napoli !!!
they r a team that had a short spell with Success thanks to Maradonna , they stayed in Serie B more than they played in Serie A

and sry my friend Napoli won 2 Scudetti , did Chelsea win any EPL titles in the 90's ???

Scudetto is a major cup related to glory

Scudetto is a major cup related to glory

3 English Cups, 1 English Super Cup, European Cup and a Super European Cup (Chelsea 1 - 0 Madrid) are not major trophies?

I am not comparing. I previously told you that a club symbols its golrious years relatively to itself and how things underwent the club throughout the years. It is not a comparison in anyway.

ok let's leave this topic for Napoli plz continue our chelsea argument in it's place
