Napoli's training ground came to a standstill as one of the club's greatest players ever paid a visit Wednesday.
Players and members of the coaching staff were full of smiles when Diego Maradona arrived at the Centro Sportivo di Castel Volturno a day after he was offered the global ambassador's role with Napoli, which is dependent on the Argentine legend resolving his tax issues in Italy.

Nonetheless, Maradona has accepted an invitation from club president Aurelio De Laurentiis to travel with the Ciucciarelli to Spain ahead of the club's Champions League Round of 16 match against Real Madrid on Feb. 15.
