Football legend Diego Maradona moved to play down fresh concerns about his health on Monday, insisting that he is well and relishing his role as head coach of Argentine club Gimnasia.
Maradona’s youngest daughter, Gianinna, raised fears about the 59-year-old by claiming on Instagram that “they are killing him on the inside without him noticing.”
The message, which included a call to “pray” for the 1986 World Cup winner, was seemingly a reference to media criticism of Maradona’s work with Gimnasia as the club battles to avoid relegation from Argentina’s top division.
“I’m not dying at all,” the former Boca Juniors, Barcelona and Napoli star said in a video published on the social media platform.
