FIFA Urged to Retire Number 1o Shirt from Footaball in Honour of Diego Maradona

Marseille manager Andre Villas-Boas has called on FIFA to retire the number 10 shirt from the game to honour Argentine great Diego Maradona.

“Maradona, yes it is tough news, I would like FIFA to retire the number 10 shirt in all competitions, for all teams,” Villas-Boas told reporters after Marseille’s 2-0 Champions League defeat by Porto.

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

Maradona’s former club Napoli have not used the No. 10 shirt since 2000 as a mark of respect for the player who guided them to several trophies.

Maradona was regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, with fans in Argentina referring to him as ‘El Dios’ ; ‘The god’, but is also a play on words on his number 10 shirt, ‘El Diez.’
