Maradona’s Daughters Rebuke Mauricio Macri Over New Remarks on Diego

In a podcast interview, Macri revisited Boca’s 1990s tensions by saying Diego was unfit to coach in 1998.

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.
