Argentine World Cup winner Diego Maradona has spoken of his interest in entering the world of politics in his home country, even offering to be the vice-presidential candidate to former leader Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner.
Never one to shy away from airing his opinions, Maradona - who maintains legendary status both in Argentina and with Napoli for his exploits as a player in the 1980s and 1990s - gave a candid interview in which he backed former leader and first lady Kirchner to make a comeback in the 2019 general election, while putting himself forward to be 'on the ticket'.
