Diego Maradona

Diego Maradona, a world-renowned Argentine football player, kicked the bucket on November 25, 2020. The Argentina Football Association was among the first to share the news in a tweet. His full name is Diego Armando Maradona and he was born on October 30, 1960, in Buenos Aires, Argentina.  At the age of eight, he already showed the potential to become a football player. When he joined Las Cebollitas, the boy’s team won 136 succeeding matches and a national championship. At age 16, he became the youngest Argentine player on the national team. Although he was too young to play in the 1978 World Cup, he led the Junior World Cup championship the following year.

Maradona often took credit for being among the top football players of the 1980s and was considered one of the greatest of all time. He led various teams from Italy, Spain, and Argentina, and won the 1986 World Cup with the latter.
