Football Legend Diego Maradona Dies at The Age of 60

Legendary footballer, Diego Maradona reportedly passed away at the age of 60 after suffering a heart attack. The news was confirmed by several international sports media including ESPN Argentina, Football Espana, Clarin, and others.

Maradona previously suffered from cardiorespiratory attacks and his health condition was found to be deteriorating.

The condition caused Maradona to have to receive hospital treatment since the beginning of this month to undergo surgery to remove a blood clot in his brain.

The media reported that the surgery was successful, however, a week after he ‘recovered’, his condition deteriorated again.

The passing of this legendary ‘hand of God’ is mourned by all football players and fans around the world.

He was recognized as one of the greatest players in history, becoming captain when Argentina won the 1986 World Cup, with outstanding game performances.

Argentine President Alberto Fernandez declared a three-day mourning period for the country.

“You took us to the highest point in the world and made us immensely happy. You were the greatest of all. Thank you for having been with us, Diego. We will miss you all our lives, “said the president on his Twitter page.
