XtraTime Web Desk: If the reports are to be believed Maradona will no longer be a ambassador of FIFA after his “embarrassing and provocative behaviour” during Argentina’s do-or die World Cup game against Nigeria.
The former Argentina great was being paid £10,000 by FIFA for “bringing the spotlight” to any World Cup match he was at.
Diego Maradona’s role as a paid ambassador for Fifa came under scrutiny following his boorish behaviour during Argentina’s defeat of Nigeria.
Football’s governing body said note had been taken of Maradona’s antics, although it would not comment on whether they would have any impact on his official duties.
