Hugo Maradona, the younger brother of Argentine football legend Diego, has died today of a heart attack at the age of 52.
Hugo suffered the fatal attack at his home in Naples, the city where Diego reached the pinnacle of his football career and where Hugo played when he was young.
13 months ago a cardiac arrest also killed Diego – the hero of Argentina’s World Cup in November 2020, at the age of 60.
Hugo was earlier at the Maradona’s naming ceremony at the Naples stadium a month ago.
He leaves behind his wife Paola Morra whom he married in 2016, and three children.
He was the youngest of the Maradona brothers – the other two being Diego and Raul – and also an amateur football player who played for Napoli when he was 18 in 1987.
But unlike his brother who is considered a saint in the city, Hugo was later sent to other squads on loan.
He then worked as a youth coach at various football academies.
Josi Della Ragione, the mayor of Bacoli where Hugo lived, paid homage to him after his death.
‘Bacoli joins the pain of the Maradona family, already for the death of his beloved Hugo. I hug his wife Paola, ‘she said.
