Everything is already set in Napoli to rename the San Paolo Stadium after Diego Maradona. Some hours ago the club legend passed away at the age of 60.

Maradona, one of the football greatest players, died from cardiac arrest and passed away in Argentina. Impact on Napolitan people, really attached to Maradona, was profound. Many italian news report of people crying in the middle of the road once informed. Maradona led Napoli to Scudetto in the '80 and since then is a semilegendary character. Many babies are named after him still nowdays.

A Maradona-shaped puppet. Puppets like this are used in Christmas time to represent the birth of Christ, Napoli's ones are very famous for they irony and variety.

Aurelio de Laurentiis, president of Napoli, stated the intention of the club to change the name of the club's stadium from Stadio San Paolo to San Paolo-Diego Armando Maradona. The mayor of Naples, Luigi de Magistris, has supported this suggestion.

"Diego Armando Maradona, the most immense footballer of all time, died Diego made our people dream, he redeemed Naples with his genius," de Magistris wrote on Twitter. "In 2017 he became our honorary citizen Diego, Neapolitan and Argentine, you gave us joy and happiness! Naples loves you!"

An hour later, de Magistris added: "Let's name the San Paolo Stadium after Diego Armando Maradona!!!"
