Napoli on FM26 - Diego's City Still Dreams
36 YEARS without a Scudetto. Then 2023: CHAMPIONS. Then 2025: CHAMPIONS AGAIN. Now 2nd in 2025-26, Champions League qualified. Conte leaves after the title. Allegri arrives. And at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona (54,726 seats), the city of Naples STILL VIBRATES. Because Maradona never dies.
Why choose Napoli?
Because Napoli is THE MOST PASSIONATE CITY IN ITALY. Diego Maradona: two Scudetti brought to Naples (1987 and 1990), the man who drove an ENTIRE CITY to the edge of collective madness. The stadium renamed 'Stadio Diego Armando Maradona' in December 2020 after his death (54,726 seats) is a temple. And in 1990, during the World Cup played in Naples, Maradona ASKED Neapolitan supporters to support Argentina against Italy — and many did. A magnificent madness. 36 years after 1987, the Scudetto returned in 2023 under Spalletti. Then 2025 under Conte — 4th historic title. Now 2nd in 2025-26 (CL qualified), Conte has left, Allegri (legendary at Juve) arrives. In FM26, you take one of the most EMOTIONAL clubs in Europe — with the pressure of a city that compares EVERYTHING to Maradona.
Post-Conte era: Allegri reconfigures
Conte restored defensive structure and collective discipline. Allegri may be even more pragmatic — but also more direct. Kvara (if still there), Lukaku or his successor, Lobotka in midfield — the pieces are there for a 5th title.
Tactics: Neapolitan pragmatism
Naples has alternated between possession play (Spalletti), ultra-organized defense (Conte) and giving everything in quick transitions. In FM26, choose your style based on your squad. The 4-3-3 with Kvara on the left going 1v1 remains THE winning formula. Lobotka as pivot who wins and distributes.
Objectives: the 5th Scudetto
Maintain top 3 in Serie A. Champions League as European objective. Long term: a 5th Scudetto that would once again honor Diego's memory. Naples deserves to be at the summit every year.
Napoli is MARADONA still living in the city's streets. In FM26, winning the Scudetto at Naples is touching something SACRED. Forza Napoli Sempre!
