Aguero is a wimp! Maradona blasts City star after split from his daughter turns nasty

Unforgiven: Diego Maradona is not happy with Sergio Aguero after he split from his daughter

A furious Diego Maradona has labelled Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero ‘a wimp’ on the day the controversial ‘Hand of God’ forward turned 53.

Aguero was married to Giannina, Maradona’s daughter, for four years and has a son, Benjamin, with her, but the two split earlier this year.

However it seems that his former father-in-law is in no mood to forgive him.

'He’s a wimp, who I don’t even want to name,” Maradona told Argentine radio.

The legendary World Cup winner pulled no punches in his explosive radio rant, vowing to stand by his daughter’s side in any potential future legal battles.

'In my daughter’s next meeting with a lawyer, I want to be by her side. We’ll see who can talk,' he said. 

'The next time I want to be there to see if he (Aguero) says anything.'

Maradona who turns 53 today, is in Dubai because, as he puts it, he is ‘a sporting exile’.

'At the moment I am missing my daughters, but you can’t have everything in life,' he said.

He also thanked people for the messages and tributes he had received: 'A huge thank you to the ‘disciples of Maradona’, my old man and all of my family.'

However it seems unlikely that Sergio Aguero will be among those joining in the former Argentina star’s birthday celebrations.
