Maradona a Newell's Old Boys

The story of Diego Armando Maradona football reaches its penultimate chapter in what has been described by many as the twilight of his career, a dark period and that does not add much to its history, but we can not ignore it represents one of the few clubs that has delighted us.

After the break in relations with the leadership of Sevilla , and seeking to return to Argentina to live his last years as a player, opened negotiations for the transfer to the club where he was born, where he took his first steps in football and started to get excited with World Cup dream, Argentinos Juniors .

When all was well advanced, a problem with the barra brava of the club, demanding the delivery of 50 thousand dollars, as well various threats from the same group, decided to sign for another club that had interest in football, which seemed to be force.

Thus, the September 13, 1993 was the first training in Newell's Old Boys, where the coach Jorge Raúl Solari organized a welcome party attended by some 40,000 fans, excited to see the idol of Argentina again in the country and the colors of his passion, scoring a goal against Emelec:

Officially debuted with a 3-1 loss to Independiente, playing only four official meetings over, suffering a muscle tear on December 2, 1993, away from the playing field for a few weeks.

This is the first leg of Solari joined as a coach, replaced by Jorge Castelli, who had bad relationships by not allowing the same amenities as its predecessor, precipitating the way for the January 26, 1994, in a final friendly match before the Basque Da Gama.
