Diego Armando Maradona, the iconic figure of Argentine football, is considering a remarkable comeback to the field at the age of 53. The legendary “El Pibe de Oro” is contemplating donning the jersey of Riestra, a fifth-division club in Argentina. This surprising decision comes after his agent, Victor Stinfale, proposed the idea to him, which Maradona readily accepted.
According to reports from the newspaper OLé, Maradona is eager to return to competitive football and is aiming to make his comeback in March. If the Argentine Football Federation grants him a license, Maradona could potentially step onto the pitch once again on March 23.
This audacious move from Maradona, who famously led Argentina to victory in the 1986 World Cup, has sparked considerable excitement and speculation among football fans worldwide. Many are curious to see if the aging legend can recapture even a fraction of the magic that made him one of the greatest players in the history of the sport.
