The 2007-08 campaign was a season of passionate return for Napoli as the Partenopei, backed by Aurelio De Laurentiis, firmly re-established themselves in Serie A. They surged to a respectable 8th-place finish under manager Edoardo Reja, securing a coveted spot in the Intertoto Cup. Spearheading the attack were the sensational new signings Marek Hamšík, who led the league scoring with 9 goals, and the electric Ezequiel Lavezzi. The season was built on renewed confidence, culminating in a strong finish, and it remains a defining chapter in the club's modern revival after their difficult climb back to the top flight.
