I am a little late reporting this news but Napoli announced their new kits last week. For the second year now, Napoli’s kits are designed by Treviso-based Diadora. The company has produced some great kits since they broke into the soccer market in the late 70’s. They produce the home kit for the glorious nation [...]

Uh…never mind I think Marino is doing a fine job

It seems there a strange pull somewhere in the universe. I post an entry where I convince myself something is going to happen like Napoli signing Nocerino and within hours of posting the entry the exact opposite happens (Nocerino was scooped by Fiorentina only to have Juve pull the rug out from under La Viola the [...]
All in all it’s just another kick in the balls

Still no movement on the acquisition front and the rumours are quickly becoming irksome at this point. Direttore Generale Pier Paulo Marino has chosen to take a very low profile and not discuss player transfers. Given the recent track record, I have to applaud the decision to keep out of the media. As long as [...]
My kingdom for… central air?

It seems Reja’s boys had a nice flight to Austria and the first few days of pre-season training are going swimmingly. The lads are getting along, they’re playing well and, apparently sweating their collective asses off in the Austrian heat. With temperatures upwards of 34 degrees Celsius (93 fahrenheit) and high humidity, Napoli are having [...]

Napoli has a history of strong fan support. It was not usual to see 50,000 tifosi partenopei pack San Paolo the last few years while the club toiled in Serie C and Serie [...]

Calaio in a white kit with blue scoring boots
We got some midfielders who really can scoot
Bogliacino whipping in crosses down on the wings
These are a few of my favorite things.
Napoli will head for the Austrian city of Feldkirchen on Wednesday, July 18. Reja will take the boys up north for two weeks of running, wiener [...]

Things are falling apart in Napoli’s once promising calciomercato. What once appeared certain has now become a source of anger and frustration. First came the news that Rolando Bianchi went to Manchester City for 13 million euros, then the debacle that was Antonio Nocerino (who is now staying at Juve…not bloody likely) and now comes [...]
A new Napoletano?
By: Joe | 2 Comments
There’s a good deal of smoke and talk about Napoli picking up Juventus and Azzurrini midfielder Antonio Nocerino. Nocerino and Juventus will meet this evening. Talk is Nocerino will ask Juve to allow him to come to his hometown Napoli (born in San Lucia). De Laurentis seems confident he’ll get his man. The Napoli President [...]

Apparently Aurelio De Laurentis doesn’t like being jacked around. After weeks of back and forth negotiations with Reggina starlet Rolando Bianchi, Napoli quickly changed course and swooped in to sign young Argentinian Ezequiel Lavezzi and put an end to the drama with Bianchi. The 22-year old San Lorenzo striker signed a five year deal after Napoli [...]

One look at Napoli’s manager and you know Edoardo Reja “Edy” has been around a while. A new one year deal will insure he’ll be around for at least another year (or until Napoli hit an extended losing streak in Serie A). Both direttore generale Pier Paulo Marino and Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentis are [...]
