Naples city council on Friday
renamed the Napoli ground after late soccer genius and favourite
adopted son Diego Armando Maradona.
The San Paolo Stadium is now the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium,
in honour of the Argentina legend
who led Napoli to its first and so far only scudetti in 1987 and
1990 as well as an Italian Cup in 1987 and a UEFA Cup in 1989.
Mayor Luigi de Magistris announced the renaming shortly after
Maradona died last week at 60, saying The people want it, they
spoke unanimously".
