Maradona to leave Gimnasia?

Napoli icon Diego Maradona could reportedly leave Argentine side Gimnasia La Plata, just two months into his tenure.

Gimnasia President Gabriel Pellegrino was behind Maradona’s appointment as coach, yet he could be why the 59-year-old vacates his role.

That is because, as per Clarin, he will leave if Pellegrino does not run for another stint as President.

‘Pibe de Oro’ took the job in September, on a contract until the end of the season, and has taken nine points from his first six games.
