Napoli are thinking about renaming the San Paolo Stadium in accolade of the late Diego Maradona, who passed on Wednesday November 25 at 60 years old in the wake of going into heart failure.
The Argentina football superstar had been recuperating at home from brain surgery toward the beginning of the month in the wake of having a blood coagulation removed.
He left the hospital on 12 November, 10 days subsequent to being admitted, but doctors said he was experiencing disease of “abstinence” following the withdrawal of liquor.
He passed on unexpectedly at his home in Tigres, north of Buenos Aires, setting off a rush of heartfelt condolences over the loss of one of football’s all-time greats.
While Maradona is most popular for his performances in Argentina’s No. 10 shirt – having driven his nation to three successive World Cups including the 1986 victory, Maradona additionally remains affectionately associated with his time in Italy with Napoli.
Maradona joined the Naples-based side from Barcelona after a difficult spell in Spain following his world record £5m move from Boca Juniors, but found a home away from home in Italy as he helped Napoli to two Serie A titles, a Coppa Italia achievement and a UEFA Cup.
Having established his status as seemingly the best part in Napoli history, Maradona proceeded onward from the club in 1991, but his reputation remains one of God-status at the club.
All things considered, president Aurelio de Laurentiis affirmed following his unfortunate demise that the club will think about renaming their renowned arena in his honor, consolidating its present title with his full iconic name.
Diego made Napoli’s dream come true, as he redeemed Naples with his genius. In 2017 he became an honorary citizen.
