Maradona, Ex-Wife Reunion Suffers Setback

An attempt to resolve a lingering crisis between Argentine football legend Diego Maradona and his ex-wife Claudia Villafane has hit rock bottom.
This follows reports that the attempt at mediation talks between Maradona and his ex-wife whom he blamed for the disappearance of $6 million from his fortune has failed.
Maradona, 54, says the funds were taken from several of his Argentinian and foreign bank accounts.
The case is now expected to go to court.

Speaking to reporters, Villafane’s lawyer Fernando Burlando said: “The mediation session is over.
“We will see what Maradona and his counsel want to do. The case may go to court, here or in the United States.”
Villafane is the mother of his two daughters Dalma and Gianinna. The 53 year-old launched the divorce proceedings as she manages her ex-husband’s assets so that she can keep the estate that goes to her daughters, who have backed their mother.

Meanwhile, Mourinho who had admitted he was delighted to see Pedro perform so well in his first game, compared the 28-year-old to Diego Maradona.

Speaking to Chelsea TV after Chelsea win against West Brom, Mourinho said: “Pedro wasn’t quite Maradona but he was close. He’s a very good player.”
