Mansour bin Mohammed: Goodbye, Maradona ... the world has lost a legend

His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Sports Council, expressed his affection for the death of the football icon, Diego Armando Maradona. We are proud that he shared his talent with us here in the Emirates .. Our sincere condolences go out to his family and his loved ones.

Maradona's name has been closely associated with the city of Dubai in the last decade, in which he lived for nearly six years. From there, he underwent two training experiences with Al Wasl and Fujairah, and worked for a period of three to four years as a consultant to the Dubai Sports Council, and as an ambassador for sports in Dubai.

The day before yesterday, sadness prevailed over Al Wasl club, which Maradona trained in the 2011-2012 season. The club published on its official account on Twitter a picture of the late man in the Al Wasl shirt, commenting on it with poignant words "Goodbye, Legend."

He was also bid farewell to the Fujairah Club, which Maradona trained in the 2017-2018 season, and wrote on his Twitter account: “These were beautiful days, unforgettable memories that history will perpetuate that better than touching football was here in Fujairah, goodbye myth.”

Maradona has already on many occasions expressed his love and appreciation to the people of the Emirates on all occasions, and even was keen to wear the Emirati national dress in more than one event, and participated in national events.

The photos of Maradona, with all the players, coaches, administrators and media professionals in the Emirates who took them with him, were the most widespread on social media in the last hours, as he was associated with feelings of friendliness and love with everyone who approached him, and left a good effect on him.
