Napoli e Coca-Cola, otto lattine per il Centenario: come averle si saprà solo nelle prossime settimane — Grafica Arena Napoli

Napoli and Coca-Cola have announced a partnership to celebrate the club's centenary. The product is a limited-edition set of eight cans, each with its own design. Together they trace the symbols, the defining moments and the identity of the club's first century.

Nobody knows yet how to get them. The cans will be released through dedicated distribution channels and special initiatives, which will be revealed in the coming weeks. So the announcement is out, but there is still no way to buy the set, and for collectors that is the only part that matters.

The timing is not ideal. The 100th birthday was in August, and the team meant to honour it sits ninth in Serie A with 10 points from 7 games, nine behind Inter. Roma visit the Maradona on Saturday 24 October at 18:00 CET (17:00 UK, 12:00 ET). The board has made it the second of the tests on which Allegri's job depends.

A centenary keepsake will happily go on the shelf. But we would rather see the century celebrated on the pitch first.
