The arrival of Welsh forward John Charles and Argentine-born Italian striker Omar Sívori alongside club icon Giampiero Boniperti created the renowned 'Magical Trio', leading Juventus to further domestic success, including the club's first league and cup double in 1959–60. Boniperti retired in 1961 as Juventus's all-time leading goalscorer. In 1961, Juventus became the first Italian club to win ten league titles, earning the right to add a gold star above its crest. Juventus added another league title in 1966–67.
