Diego Maradona reportedly passed away at the age of 60.
The Argentine legend, considered by many to be the greatest soccer player of all time, reportedly suffered a cardiorespiratory arrest and was left in serious condition.
Argentine outlet Clarion then reported later on Wednesday that Maradona had passed away.
Maradona was hospitalized earlier this month after undergoing surgery for a blood clot in the brain.
The surgery was a success, but a few weeks later, Maradona passed away.
The news has been confirmed by ESPN Argentina and TyC Sports.
Journalist César Luis Merlo reports that the doctors tried to revive Maradona.
But it seems that the terrible news is sadly true: soccer has lost one of its most legendary players.
Maradona is most famous for inspiring Argentina to glory in the 1986 World Cup final in Mexico.
The legendary striker also led old-fashioned Napoli to two Serie A titles in 1987 and 1990.
After Maradona retired in 1997, he dedicated himself to coaching and coaching the Argentine national team between 2008 and 2010.
He was in charge of Gimnasia de La Plata at the time of his premature and tragic death.
