Napoli 1986–90 — Maradona's Champions

Napoli's two Serie A titles (1987, 1990) and UEFA Cup (1989) under Ottavio Bianchi and then Albertino Bigon were built almost entirely around Diego Maradona — the greatest individual talent in the history of the Italian game. In a league dominated by northern clubs with vastly greater resources, Maradona's genius transformed Napoli from a perennial mid-table side into champions of Europe. The city of Naples still treats the 1987 title as a religious event. Maradona's shrine in Naples attracts more visitors than most official monuments.
