The first English-language history of one of Italy's most beloved clubs.

Diego Maradona spent just seven seasons with SSC Napoli, but in that time the club soared to its greatest heights, winning two Serie A titles and lifting the Coppa Italia, Supercoppa Italiana, and UEFA Cup.

For most soccer lovers, the Partenopei story begins and ends with him. Yet Napoli's history is packed with fascinating figures, from ambitious owners to cult-hero players to the legend-turned-sporting-director who brought the Argentine to Naples in the first place.

More than Maradona introduces this cast of characters, spotlights the club's most intriguing eras, and ties it all back to the history and culture of Naples itself, a rare one-club town where football and identity are inseparable.

Written as Napoli chased their long-awaited third title, the book builds to an ecstatic finale on the 2022-23 season, when the Azzurri finally dominated Serie A and the city erupted. This second edition adds a new chapter on the 2024-25 campaign, when Napoli did it all over again.

For devoted supporters and curious newcomers alike, this is the story of why so many are smitten with SSC Napoli, long before they were champions again. And again.
