1986–87 Serie A

The 1986–87 Serie A season ended with Napoli doing the "domestic double", winning their first Scudetto and third Coppa Italia, spurred on by their talismanic captain Diego Maradona, who had also just played a key part in World Cup glory for his home country of Argentina.

Events

Ascoli, Brescia and Empoli had been promoted from Serie B.
