“It would be the best homage we could do for him. He is an incredible loss for the world of football.” he added

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was asked for his reaction to the news and told reporters: “There was a banner in Argentina one year ago that I read, that said: ‘No matter what you have done with your life Diego, what matters is what you have done for our lives.’

“He gave a lot of joy and he made football better. What he did for Napoli and for Argentina in 1986 was something unbelievable.

“Rest in peace and on behalf of Manchester City a big hug for all his family.”

The mayor of Naples, Luigi De Magistris has called for Napoli’s Stadio San Paolo to be renamed in honour of the 60-year-old football legend.

Premium Times reports that the insurgents planted explosives on each leg of the tower, which they detonated at about 6 a.m. In January, the terrorists struck power installations thrice at a location about 50km from Maiduguri to keep the city in the dark.

The city has now been thrown into another darkness following the Saturday morning attack.
