Diego Maradona on Tuesday
hailed his entry into Italian soccer's Hall of fame as he got a
crystal cup marking his place in Italian football history.
Visiting the museum in Florence, he said "Here I feel inside
soccer, I feel at home".
Maradona was inducted two years ago for "the emotions he
transmitted to millions of fans and for writing unforgettable
pages in the history of Italian and world football".
The all-time great met the chairman of Napoli when he led
them to two scudetti, Corrado Ferlaino, and current President
Aurelio de Laurentiis who invited him to Napoli's Champions
League last 16 tie against Real Madrid at the San Paolo on March
7.
On Monday Maradona was the guest of honour at Naples' iconic
San Carlo opera house at an anniversary celebration of the
Azzurri's first scudetto in 1987.
De Laurentiis said the Argentina legend could become Napoli's
ambassador to the world while Mayor Luigi de Magistris said he
would be made an honorary citizen of the southern Italian city
where he is venerated.
