Aurelio De Laurentiis, President of Naples, confirmed this Thursday in a letter that the San Paolo Stadium will be called “Diego Armando Maradona” in honor of the soccer star who died this Wednesday at age 60 due to cardiac arrest.
“Dear Diego, you leave us a sample of what a man is with all his fragility, his strength, his total love for life and for people. A unique and unrepeatable champion. Your weaknesses, your blemishes, your mistakes are equal to your immense greatness and are annulled to form a mitor, “De Laurentiis wrote in a letter posted by the club on its website.
“I think it is correct to call the San Paolo with your namee, so that you continue with us as a demonstration of the path of excellence that this team has taken, “added the head of the Neapolitan team.
The proposal was launched this Wednesday by the mayor of the southern city, Luigi De Magistris, and De Laurentiis accepted it immediately, expressing his willingness to advance the bureaucratic procedures for the name change to occur as soon as possible.
In your letter, De Laurentiis considered that Diego was “a painter of the ball”, whose “brushstrokes deserve to be kept in the Louvre museum”.
The city of Naples, in which Maradona won two league titles and a UEFA Cup between 1984 and 1991, he is dedicating a long series of heartfelt tributes to his “D10S”, both in the San Paolo Stadium area and in the “Quartieri Spagnoli” (Spanish Quarter).
