Fernando de Napoli (born 15 March 1964, in Chiusano di San Domenico, Italy) is an Italian former professional footballer, who played either as a central midfielder or as a winger during the 1980s and 1990s. During his club career, he won the scudetto four times, twice with Napoli, and twice with Milan. At international level, he represented Italy at two FIFA World Cups (1986 and 1990), and at UEFA Euro 1988.
De Napoli began his football career with Rimini Calcio in Serie C, under manager Arrigo Sacchi. He spent a year with the club before moving to Serie A club Avellino in the summer of 1983, he stayed with "Lupi" for three years, before moving onto Campania neighbours; S.S.C. Napoli in 1986.
This would prove to be the most successful time in the history of S.S.C. Napoli; De Napoli often played alongside Salvatore Bagni, serving as a defensive foil to the club's star playmaker Diego Maradona. During his six-year spell with the team, De Napoli won the scudetto in 1987 and 1990, the Coppa Italia in 1987, the UEFA Cup in 1989, and the Supercoppa Italiana in 1990.
