A never told secret of Maradona's departure from Dorados de Sinaloa were revealed by his assistant

Diego Maradona surprised everyone when he announced that he was going to be the new coach of Dorados de Sinaloa. Diego Maradona had recently signed to be the president of a team in Belarus but he was more tempted to try to lead Dorados de Sinaloa to Liga MX. After the death of Diego Maradona, a former assistant of him revealed untold secrets.

Mario Alberto Garcia Covalles was one of Diego Maradona's assistants in Dorados de Sinaloa and revealed some details never told about Maradona. In his two years as coach of Dorados de Sinaloa, Diego Maradona lost two finals and did not achieve promotion to Liga MX. The main reason why Maradona left Mexico according to Garcia Covalles was that he was depressed about not being able to be with his family.

Diego Maradona was like a baby according to Garcia Covalles since every time he could have fun in the most childish way he did it. One day the stadium was flooded and Diego Maradona took off his shoes and started splashing with the water and walking on it. Everyone who was there had to accompany him across the entire width of the court.

In addition, he revealed that Diego Maradona drank at least 5 beers per day but that when he mixed them with all the medications he took, he made a lethal cocktail. According to Garcia Covalles, Diego Maradona only drank beer. What was most surprising was that he said that many Dorados de Sinaloa players did not know him when he arrived in Mexico.
