Napoli will on Sunday unveil a new fourth kit that pays tribute to Diego Maradona, four days on from the club legend s death.
Maradona, one of football s all-time greats, died of natural causes at the age of 60 on Wednesday.
Although coach of Argentinian side Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata at the time of his death, Maradona was more renowned for his remarkable playing career, during which he inspired his country to 1986 World Cup success and also played for Argentinos Juniors, Boca Juniors, Barcelona, Napoli and Sevilla.
But it was his time in Naples that is remembered as his prime, as he helped them to two Serie A titles, a Coppa Italia and a UEFA Cup crown.
Napoli s current team all took to the pitch in jerseys emblazoned with Maradona s name and iconic nu…

The Belgium international has been blighted by ankle and leg problems since joining the Spanish giants from Chelsea nearly 18 months ago.

Jose Mourinho accepted Manchester United deserved to beat Tottenham on his return to Old Trafford.
Marcus Rashford s double either side of a superb Dele Alli goal meant Mourinho s Tottenham lost 2-1 in the Premier League on Wednesday, ending his 100 per cent record since succeeding Mauricio Pochettino.
Spurs lacked intensity but Mourinho rued a penalty needlessly given away by Moussa Sissoko that allowed Rashford to score what proved the winner early in the second half.
I think they [United] deserved the victory by their first half, we didn t start well at all, Mourinho told Prime Video.
I think for the first 30 minutes they were the best team and because of that, a strong 30 minutes, we were not there. Also, the way we conceded the second goal, I thi…
Randy Lerner has outlined his determination to put Aston Villa into better-suited hands in order to return the club to its rightful place among England s elite .
Villa s relegation from the Premier League was confirmed last weekend following a 1-0 defeat at Manchester United, the culmination of an appalling season that has seen the club sack two managers amid a fractious relationship between supporters and the club s players and directors.
American Lerner announced his intention to sell in May 2014 and remains committed to finding a buyer to return the feel-good factor back to Villa Park.
In a statement, he wrote: A nagging sense of inevitability set in against Leicester City [on September 13, 2015] despite the late lead we enjoyed. Can t say why although I doubt…
