The younger brother of legendary Argentine footballer Diego Maradona, Hugo Maradona, died on Tuesday of a heart attack in his Naples home. He was 52.
His death came a little over a year after Diego Maradona died at the age of 60 from cardiac arrest.
Hugo Maradona's professional football career took him to Italy, Austria, Spain, Argentina and Japan, playing for clubs like Napoli, where he briefly joined his older brother, Ascoli and Rayo Vallecano.
"The thoughts of club president Aurelio De Laurentiis, vice president Edoardo De Laurentiis, officials, coaching staff, the players and the whole SSC Napoli family are with the Maradona family after the sad passing of Hugo," Napoli said in a statement.
