André Villas-Boas wants #10 shirt to be retired across professional football for Diego Maradona

Speaking in his post-match press conference following Marseille’s 2-0 Champions’ League defeat vs Porto, OM boss André Villas-Boas discussed the death of Diego Maradona.

“It is very bad news, as well as the loss of a board member (at Porto) who was really important to me, who was the first person to open the door for me to the coaching world. And Maradona yes it is tough news, I would like FIFA to retire the #10 shirt in all competitions, for all teams. It would be the best homage we could do for him. He is an incredible loss for the world of football.”
