Overview
- Clips from Macri’s appearance on La Fábrica del Podcast went viral as he called his 1990s coexistence with Maradona at Boca Juniors “very traumatic.”
- Macri defended refusing Maradona the Boca coaching job in 1998, arguing club discipline came first and saying “time gave me reason.”
- He cited specific episodes to justify his stance, including a no‑show at a factory visit and what he described as five consecutive missed penalties.
- Dalma Maradona criticized Macri for attacking someone who “is not able to defend himself,” saying she would not reply in kind out of respect.
- Gianinna Maradona issued a sharper Instagram rebuke—“You don’t know how to read and you were president”—later apologizing to Macri’s children but maintaining her defense of her father.
