Argentine soccer legend Diego Maradona has made an offer to reduce his salary as a coach at Argentinian club Jimenaasia La Plata, to help him in the financial crisis caused by the outbreak of the new Coronavirus.
We exchanged messages with his assistant and (Maradona) was among the first to be prepared for a salary review, because he wanted to, Gabriel Pellegrino, president of the club threatening to relegate to the second division, told Cielo Sports.
This indicates a person who is not thinking about money, but with the help of Jimnasia in this situation. The 1986 world champion took over the club's training last September.
The club president added, Maradona is not looking forward to the end of his contract. He is at home now, but he will return. He will be ready after the matter ends.
On the way Maradona, 59, has adapted to the period of isolation, Pellegrino said, Diego is doing well, he is bored like everyone ... he takes care of himself because he is at an age closer to a vulnerable group, but he handles the best he can.
The Argentine league matches have been suspended until further notice since March 17, and the League has entered into negotiations to reduce the salaries of players and employees, to reduce the catastrophic impact of stopping the competitions.
It is noteworthy that a large number of European clubs, headed by Barcelona, have reduced the salaries of their players in order to face the crisis and maintain the presence of the club's employees in their positions and ensure that they receive their salaries.
The golden boy and a loyalty message to Italy
Last month, Maradona sent a message of support to Italians who are going through a difficult period due to the outbreak.
And he posted a picture of him on the Instagram application, wearing a Napoli shirt, his team during the eighties in the stadium of San Paulo and wrote commenting: I lived in Naples for seven years, I have a family there, and a lot of people I love and who love me. Italy is part of my life and I want to send them a message Support in these difficult times.
There (in Italy), everyone realized that they had to stay in their homes. I hope we will comply with them in Argentina at the appropriate time, added Maradona, who was crowned champion of the Italian league in 1987 and 1990.
In Argentina, 1,353 people were infected with the COVID-19 virus, including 42 deaths.
