Ep. 30 - Serie A 🇮🇹 & how De Laurentiis shaped SSC Napoli! ⚪️🔵

Another week, another episode with a special guest! Jeremy, a first-generation American born to an Italian father, joins us today to discuss the golden era that the Serie A was going through in the early 2000's.  In this episode, we speak about Axel's experience with calcio when he moved to Italy as a 7-year old boy and how Jeremy got into soccer living in the US and ended up cheering for Napoli.  The Partenopeo club was very iconic in the Maradona days during the 80's but was declared bankrupt in 2004 while in Serie C1 (Italy's third division) only to be bought by film mogul Aurelio De Laurentiis. The colorful chairman promised to bring Napoli back to the top within five years and saying that he has delivered would be an understatement.  We also discuss in depth how Napoli reached for the stars from 2009 to nowadays under Walter Mazzarri, Rafa Benitez, Maurizio Sarri and now Carlo Ancelotti.
