Argentina soccer legend Diego Maradona has died at the age of 60.
Maradona suffered a heart attack in Tigre, Buenos Aires, after undergoing surgery to remove a blood clot from his brain earlier this month, according to the Clarin newspaper.
“The Argentine Football Association, through its President Claudio Tapia, expresses its deepest pain at the death of our legend, Diego Armando Maradona,” the Argentina Football Association said in a statement. “You’ll always be in our hearts.”
Regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of the game, Maradona led Argentina to World Cup glory in 1986 and won numerous league championships in Italy and at home.
