Serie A title no longer a Napoli fantasy, it's their year - Bianchi

The man who guided the club to their first ever league title has backed Maurizio Sarri's side to bring an end to Juventus' tight grip on the trophy

Napoli's current crop of stars can emulate the club's heroes of 1987 and 1990 by winning the Serie A title this season, according to Ottavio Bianchi – the man who coached the Partenopei to their first Scudetto.

After six years in Juventus' shadow in the Italian top flight, Napoli have emerged as serious title contenders this season under Sarri's guidance.

With 14 games to play they sit one point clear of Juve and look set for a head-to-head battle to become champions in the coming months.
