Nothing remarkable in these years in the career of goalkeeper did not happen, unless the departure and return of the team back in the top division. But in my personal life came Zoff fact that deserves special attention: Dino and his darling Anna decided to sanctify their relationship legal marriage.

In 1967, Zoff had to move to AC Milan, but eventually found himself in "Napoli". During the time spent in Naples, in the life of Dino have been many significant events that will soon become history.

After a Napoli five seasons, and having gained silver and bronze medals in Serie A, Dino, in 1972, moved to Juventus.

Protective model, which preferred Zoff manager, many did not like, so during his stay at the helm of the legendary national team goalkeeper managed to amass a lot of opponents. Yet Zoff stubbornly went to his goal, and only circumstances prevented him from becoming the champion of Europe and as a coach.
