Stadium	Between 1926 and 1930 Napoli played their home games at the Stadio Militare dell’Arenaccia. President Giorgio Ascarelli commissioned a new Stadium, first called the Stadio Vesuvio, re-christened the Stadio Ascarelli and finally the Stadio Partenopeo. It was fully redeveloped with capacity increased for the 1934 World Cup. It was raised to the ground during the war. As a result Napoli moved to the Stadio Arturo Collana, but this venue proved inadequate for their needs with supporters often encroaching onto the pitch. In December 1959 they moved to the Stadio San Paolo, which is their home today. At the time it was considered one of the most beautiful venues in the world thanks to the originality of its design. It is one of the few Stadia to have hosted all the main sports events like Olympic Games, Universiades and more. The San Paolo has been upgraded over time but as far back as the 1990s and throughout the 2000s the years started to take their toll. A major redesign occurred in the 2010s in order to meet the UEFA standards and to host the Universiades.
Recent History	Napoli’s most successful years were of course during the Maradona and President Ferlaino era. During that time at the end of the 1980s Napoli won 2 Serie A titles and 1 UEFA Cup. Unfortunately the club endured some dark times after that between the late 1990s and the early 2000s. In crisis on and off the pitch, the club struggled to make the books balance and thanks to poor performances by the team they plummeted down to the third tier of Italian football. It was in 2004 and only once the club had collapsed financially, that film producer Aurelio De Laurentiis bought Napoli. In 3 years he brought them back to the Serie A and guided them back to Europe. During the De Laurentiis era, Napoli have won 2 Coppa Italias and 1 Italian Super Cup and reached the semifinals of the Europa League (2014-2015). The 2010s saw Napoli achieve four 2nd place and three 3rd place finishes. Indeed during that time they became the most consistent Scudetto challengers to the all conquering Juventus. Napoli might be considered under-achievers due to a lack of silverware, but they won many plaudits due to the quality of the football they play, none more so than when Maurizio Sarri was at the helm.

After their incredible triumph in the previous campaign, nobody would have expected Napoli to face such a disastrous past season. In fact, the Italian defending champions dropped to the 10th place in the table and missed out on the European competitions. Truth be said, the start to their season was far from telling, as in early October they found themselves on the third place. Just 1 month later coach Rudi Garcia was sacked and Walter Mazzarri took over. With him, things went even worse and he was logically let go come mid-February. It was eventually Francesco Calzona’s turn to steady the ship but he failed too: they actually closed the campaign with 1 win out of the last 11 fixtures. After such an embarrassing season, President De Laurentiis decided to hand the reins of the team to a superstar, Antonio Conte, coming from a year off after a mixed experience at Tottenham. In the past season, Napoli leaked like a sieve as Kim’s departure the year before had not been properly solved: young talents Buongiorno, from Torino, and Rafa Marin, from Real Madrid, are set to become protagonists in a much renewed back 3. Then, starting midfielder Zielinski decided not to renew his deal with the club and left for Inter: he was not replaced yet, although Folorunsho, returning from a great season at Hellas Verona, could earn himself some playing time off the bench. Back-up goalie Gollini was also let go and young Caprile, who did wonders at Empoli, returned from loan but, nevertheless, the management are still looking for an experienced goalkeeper. Left-back Spinazzola, who arrived from Roma, is a player highly-appreciated by the new coach and he is set to become a starter on the flank but it is a bit of a gamble as he tends to be too injury-prone. Last but not least, Key striker Osimhen is set to quit Napoli sometime soon and he will be greatly missed: the bad news is that they have not found a valid replacement yet.
