Career

In 1985, Maradona was a part of the Argentina U-16 national team's squad that competed at the U16 South American and World Championships in China. In Argentina's first round match against Congo, he scored two goals to help the team to a 4–2 win, which however was one goal short of what Argentina needed to advance past the group stage.

During 1987, Hugo Maradona was bought by Ascoli to play in the Italian Serie A championship. He played just 13 matches without scoring a goal, and was sold at the end of the season to Rayo Vallecano in Spain. During 1989 he moved again, that time to Rapid Wien, and after that experience he went back to Argentina.

In 1992, he moved to Japan to play for PJM Futures (renamed as Tosu Futures after changing their hometown in 1994), which was aiming to promote to inaugurated J. League. After playing for Futures for three seasons, he played for Fukuoka Blux(renamed as Avispa Fukuoka after their promotion to J. League in 1996) in 1995 and 1996 seasons, and Consadole Sapporo in 1997 and 1998 seasons. He played in the J1 League in 1996 and 1998.

After retiring from association football as a player, Maradona lived a relatively quiet life in Argentina.[2]

In 2004, Hugo Maradona moved part-time to Puerto Rico, where he became part of that country's association football federation's attempt to invigorate the sport among Puerto Ricans by becoming the head coach of the Puerto Rico Islanders, a team in the American USL First Division.^{[citation needed]} He then moved back to Italy, working for a number of youth and amateur teams in the Naples region.

Personal life and death

Maradona was born in Lanús on 9 May 1969, as the youngest sibling of brothers Diego Maradona and Raúl Maradona, both noted footballers in their own right. His father Diego Maradona "Chitoro" (1927–2015), who worked at a chemicals factory, was of Guaraní[3] (Indigenous) and Galician[4] (Spanish) descent, and his mother Dalma Salvadora Franco, "Doña Tota" (1930–2011), was of Italian descent.[3]

He died from a heart attack at his home in Monte di Procida, near Naples, on 28 December 2021, at the age of 52.[5][6][7][8]
