A motion to confer honorary
citizenship of Naples on soccer great Diego Maradona was
defeated on the city council Monday.
The motion said the Argentina and Napoli legend should be
honoured because of the "commitment and love" he showed the
southern Italian city when leading its club to two Serie A
titles in 1987 and 1990.
The motion, which was sunk by a split in the ruling majority,
will be re-presented.
