Napoli president De Laurentiis planning Maradona tribute

Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis admits there's plans for a tribute to Diego Maradona after his passing on Wednesday.

The Azzurri legend died aged 60 after a cardiac arrest.

“I'd like to project Maradona's face [onto the stadium] during the whole game tomorrow," De Laurentiis told RMC Sport.

Rino Gattuso's side face Rijeka at the San Paolo tomorrow.

“It could be an idea to name the stadium San Paolo-Maradona, it's something we can think about'.
