Napoli sits at the centre of Partenopei memory through Diego Maradona’s city-defining chapter, late-1980s Scudetto lore, and the 2022/23 league title. This hub keeps the Maradona shelf distinct from the modern Spalletti unit and the Hamsik–Insigne–Cavani continuity window — no invented trophy lists. Practise Common Player, Intersection, Timed, and Squad Builder on verified careers only.
Notable eras
Maradona and 1987 / 1990 Scudetto lore
Diego Maradona’s Napoli years tied the club to a global mythos; late-1980s domestic titles are remembered with that shelf. Do not merge personnel with later generations.
Hamsik–Insigne–Cavani continuity
2010s attacking and creative continuity is a separate shelf bridging Maradona lore and the 2022/23 peak. Verify Paris and other exit paths career by career.
2022/23 Spalletti Scudetto shelf
The 2022/23 league title under Luciano Spalletti is a fresh domestic label. Keep European personnel separate from that Scudetto unit under Timed pressure.
