Diego Armando Maradona is dead. The 60-year-old man died of cardiac arrest, a spokesman for the former soccer star said Wednesday. The Argentine is considered one of the best players in the history of football and was not only revered in his homeland. Especially in Naples, where he spent the best moment of his career, despite all the scandals, he still has the status of the god of football.

Maradona had just gotten out of the hospital. The 1986 world champion was rushed to the hospital on November 2, just days after his 60th birthday. Initially, only emotional stress, anemia and dehydration were discussed.

During testing, a subdural hematoma was discovered on the soccer hero. This is bleeding between the hard meninges and the brain. On November 3, Maradona had a successful operation, according to his medical team.

The soccer legend has repeatedly had health problems in the past. Maradona has already suffered two heart attacks, contracted hepatitis and underwent gastric bypass surgery due to being seriously overweight. He was also treated several times for drug addiction.

More recently, Maradona was hired as coach of the Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata football club. (Tsp with agencies)
