Diego Maradona, a world-class soccer superstar and former Argentine national team, died at his home outside of Buenos Aires on the 25th. He was 60 years old. The Argentine media reported. He was admitted to a Buenos Aires hospital earlier this month complaining of poor health. After being operated on for a subdural hematoma on day 3, the attending physician showed a bright outlook, but continued to be hospitalized for alcohol withdrawal.

He made his debut as a representative for Argentina in 1977. He has participated in the World Cup four times in a row since the 1982 Spanish tournament. The 1986 Mexico tournament led Argentina to the second victory with five goals. In the quarterfinals against England, he played a series of legendary plays such as “God’s hand goal” and “Goal without 5 players” that showed a vivid dribble, and was called “Tournament for Maradona”.

After retiring from active duty, he was often reported to be ill due to extreme weight gain. After overseeing the club’s team, he became the Argentine national coach in October 2008. He led his home country in the World Cup in South Africa for 10 years, but lost in the quarter-finals.
