At a club like Napoli—steeped in passion, resilience, and bursts of glory—one wonders: who among its stars holds the highest trophy count? In this article, CantoKick will delve into who qualifies as the Napoli player with most trophies, examine contenders, contextual factors, and the subtle caveats in measuring “most trophies.”
What does “most trophies” mean?
Before naming a candidate, we must clarify: are we counting trophies won while at Napoli, or a player’s entire career haul, including those earned before or after their time in Naples?
- If the metric is trophies earned during Napoli spells only, the list narrows to those who have been part of multiple Napoli title-winning squads.
- If we allow a player’s full career, then stars who spent a short time at Napoli but won many elsewhere might top the list.
In most fan debates, the intention tends toward “who among all players who have ever worn the Napoli shirt has the highest trophy count overall.” With that inclusive approach, let’s examine a few key contenders.
Napoli’s trophy inventory: limited but historic
Napoli’s own trophy cabinet helps frame the question. The club has won:
- 4 Serie A titles (1986–87, 1989–90, 2022–23, 2024–25)
- 6 Coppa Italia victories esoccer.com])
- 2 Supercoppa Italiana trophies
- **1 UEFA (Europa) Cup1988–89)
Because Napoli’s trophy haul is modest compared to elite giants like Real Madrid or Bayern Munich, a player with a decorated career elsewhere (before or after Napoli) may eclipse the club’s maximal trophies.
Key contenders
Jorginho
One strong candidate is Jorginho. During his time at Napoli, he won a Coppa Italia and a Supercoppa Italiana. But his real trophy wealth comes elsewhere—especially at Chelsea, where he added a UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, UEFA Super Cup, and the ub World Cup. When combining his club and international honours, Jorginho’s total becomes quite significant—likely making him a top contender for “Napoli player with most trophies.”
Ciro Ferrara
Ferrara spent key years at Napoli, winning two Serie A titles, a Coppa Italia, a Supercoppa Italiana, and the 1989 UEFA Cup. But Ferrara’s Juventus years add even more silverware (multiple Scudetti and a Champions League among others). The sum of his career trophies might give him an edge over someone whose bulk came during Napoli tenure alone.
Others: Hamšík, Di Lorenzo, etc.
- Marek Hamšík, Napoli’s record appearance maker, won Coppa Italia (twice) and Supercoppa Italiana during his Napoli stay. But beyond that, his trophy count is limited relative to the heavy-haul players above.
- Giovanni Di Lorenzo, current captain, has contributed to Napoli’s recent Serie A titles and a Coppa Italia. But his overall career haul is still modest in comparison.
When comparing all contenders, Jorginho seems to stand out for combining Napoli-era and non-Napoli trophies into the largest cumulative total.
Why Jorginho likely holds the edge
Here’s why Jorginho emerges as the strongest candidate for Napoli player with most trophies:
- He has a respectable set of trophies earned while at Napoli (Coppa Italia, Supercoppa)
- More importantly, his time at Chelsea yielded some of the most coveted trophies in world football (Champions League, Europa League, Club World Cup).
- His international success with Italy (e.g. Euro 2020) adds even more layers to his total trophy count.
- Other players (Ferrara, Hamšík, Di Lorenzo) earned strong domestic honours, but not the breadth or prestige Jorginho achieved.
Thus, when considering all trophies across a player’s career, Jorginho likely takes the crown among all who have played for Napoli.
Caveats and nuances
- Counting methodology matters: If a reader defines “most trophies” as trophies won during time at Napoli only, then players tied to multiple Napoli successes may overtake Jorginho, depending on the definition used.
- Team vs. individual awards: We focus on team trophies (league, cups, continental). Individual awards (MVPs, best XI, etc.) are excluded.
- Transfers and loan spells: Sometimes short spells at other clubs may add or subtract.
Summary table
| Player | Trophies won at Napoli | Notable trophies won elsewhere | Approximate total trophies |
| Jorginho | Coppa Italia + Supercoppa | Champions League, Europa League, Club World Cup, Euro with Italy | Very high |
| Ciro Ferrara | Serie A ×2, Coppa Italia, UEFA Cup, Supercoppa | Multiple league titles, Champions League, etc. at Juventus | High |
| Marek Hamšík | Coppa Italia ×2, Supercoppa | Limited outside Napoli | Moderate |
| Giovanni Di Lorenzo | Serie A ×2, Coppa Italia | Minimal beyond Napoli so far | Still growing |
Final Thoughts
In conclusion, Jorginho is highly likely the Napoli player with most trophies when you tally his entire career — combining his Napoli-era honours and the major titles he won abroad and internationally. That said, if someone restricts the measure to trophies earned while at Napoli only, the answer might shift toward Ciro Ferrara or a multi-trophy Napoli legend.
